Memorial Day

Memorial Day 2017

I have no thoughts on the topic, but today and yesterday were pain days. Weather related? It's been cold and rainy and humid. Moreso than normal for this weekend. Summer is in just 3 weeks, and it's still not  breaking 80 degrees. When I think back to the year Jesse was born, 1980, when it was over 100 degrees for a whole week when we came home from the hospital. Poor kid! We used to take baths in cold water together just to cool down.

But the pain in the knees, that's a bother.

I got gel injections in both knees, a set of three shots. Each time, the right knee protested, and the left knee was fine. After this last shot, I haven't been able to straighten my right leg to lock the knee. I won't be able to march past Kelly's this year as a result, which is annoying. And after this last shot, my left knee is feeling strained in the muscle.

That's a bother.

People don't seem to realize what constant pain can do to a person. I'm afraid to get up and do anything. I always feel stressed even though I have nothing to actually stress about.

And still, I'm not happy. And as I've said before, I'm content, I'm not sad. I just don't feel happiness. I miss that.
