Sleep

I actually slept a little better last night. Still woke a zillion times with pain but slept in between times. Also was able to sleep for about half an hour on the other side. My shoulder and hip have been hurting so much from just sleeping one way.

There's a lady in my WW group who had knee replacement the day before I did. She's getting ready to have the other one done in December. I don't want to do my other one. I may have to some day but right now I just need to let this first one get well and see how I do. Don't want to go through that again if I don't have to.

I've been able to skip the middle of the night pain pill.. hate taking so many of those things. And yesterday I got on the exercise bike. This is the third time I tried and I'm happy to say it didn't hurt as much. I was able to do half a mile. Also for the first time I was able to do my back exercises and the knee strengthening ones I used to do before. What I really want to do is be able to drive and to walk around the stores.
