I'm was in the middle of my week working for my co-worker. It wasn't as stressful as it has been in the past because I am learning how to do things and I had more help than usual. Then yesterday, I worked the desk all day alone and I did pretty well. I came home in a good mood, feeling pretty happy about things in general, and then, about 9:30 last night, I was doing a very easy mild yoga routine and my knee went out of the joint again. It was very, very, very bad. I haven't had pain like that before with this knee, even the incident in January that finally made me decide to have surgery wasn't this bad. I have to use the walker that I bought for surgery when I get up and first start walking. After I'm up a minute, I can walk a little bit without the walker. It also hurts all the time now, even when I'm sitting with it propped up and iced. I only slept about an hour and a half last night due to pain and anxiety of having to call my boss this morning. I don't even know what they did to replace me and I'm sure nobody is having a good day. :-( I hate that. I really hate letting my co-workers down when they were depending on me. There's no way, though, that I could have done the walk into the building with or without my walker and I'm pretty sure I couldn't work on an hour and a half of sleep, not to mention negotiating the shower, the stairs down out of my house, the uneven flooring in the parking garage.
Sigh.
