That’s Life

Monday night I couldn’t sleep my knee was bothering me all night. Then on Tuesday it felt even worse. It felt like a muscle pain and I was worried I may have torn something. Jeff had a half day on Tuesday because we had a guy come out to look at our crawlspace and driveway.

We were worried about mold in our crawlspace because it gets wet down there since it’s just dirt. The guy said it was wet and we need to take care of that of course with their system. Jeff and I before he came over estimated how much it would be and he blew past both of them. It’s a hell of a lot of money! I felt like passing out when he told us. And that didn’t include jacking up our driveway.

You know me I am clumsy! I tripped and fell a month ago on our driveway going into our garage. I have a nice scar where I fell on my leg. Our driveway is uneven and it sank by the garage door. That is where I tripped and fell. We had talked about jacking it up so it’s even. Jeff and I estimated how much that would cost as well and he blew past that as well.  For both things to be done it was around twelve thousands dollars because you know I have that laying around. Twelve thousands dollars! That is when I pass out because that is insane! Have to think of something else to do with our crawlspace and something else with the driveway.

A weekend ago I hurt my knee mowing the lawn. It was getting better I thought but Monday night it was being painful. I felt it a little on Sunday and just thought it would go away. Wrong! I called the doctor which I so hate doing! I don’t know what it is but Theda Care has gone down in customer service over the year. The lady told me to go to the ER or go to the walk in clinic. I said which one should I do. She said ER would be the fastest. I told Jeff we got to go after our appointment as it’s my right knee and it hurts to drive with it. He said no we are going to the walk in clinic which I am glad we did. It was fast as I was the only one there.

I had a great doctor! I never know what I am going to get but she was great! I had to get a couple of x-rays. I never had two people do x-rays before. They sucked! Everyone knows getting an x-ray of a part of the body that hurts it’s going to hurt. But these two people where really hurting me to take x-rays of my knee. I told them so. I asked if they could be more gentle they both looked at me like I am nuts! So I just bared it as they put my knee ever which way. I didn’t but I felt like crying when I was done with x-rays.

Found out I sprained a muscle in my knee. Painful! The doctor gave me some painkillers and told me iced it, bandage it and try not to do so much on it for a couple of weeks. It sucks! It’s summer I want to go do things.

I feel like I can’t win this summer for some reason.
