As I mentioned in my previous post, my recovery from my surgery last week has proved to be a harder one than I expected.

(Thankfully, I have not had infection issues or anything like that.)

What I had not shared – because I did not think it would come to issue – was that Sunday before surgery I had a fall that really did a number on my right knee.

Of course, my entire lower leg was involved as well – at the worst time for such a thing.

Still, we proceeded with the surgery we had been working towards for so long and I was sent home to recover.

With a major fall and two surgical procedures in the past 10 days, I am struggling to heal and regain my strength.

I know it will come – but right now I am exhausted.

In addition to that, the knee injury – along with surgery upsetting my nervous system – seems to have triggered some CRPS pain in my right knee that has been disconcerting.

(I live with all manner of CRPS symptoms – but a joint that has not previously been affected showing symptoms even a little bit scares the hell out of me.)

I am now resting and taking every measure available to me to settle this pain.

Adding to all of this, my maintenance medication for my CRPS – that I cannot miss – was due Friday and – owing to a pharmacy shortage – it simply will not be available until Tuesday.

And there is nothing I can do.

That would be a pain crisis issue when I’m at baseline – so I can’t express how upsetting it is right now.

I am overwhelmed with all of these things at once – and settling in for a long and uncomfortable weekend until my medications are in on Tuesday.

Thankfully, my wonderful family is taking excellent care of me – and I know this will be okay (even if this middle part is terrible).

All prayers, good vibes, and warm fuzzies are appreciated.

Be well, everybody. Take care of yourselves and each other.

Grace and Blessings.
