It is harvest week, and this is the first time in my growing career that I've had an injury serious enough not to be able to accomplish everything on my own. So my kid has been stepping in to assist, and doing a bang up job if it! My knee has been getting progressively more painful, especially since the swelling has gone down, and the the internal bleeding seems to have stopped. It is a big, bruised, misshapen mess. Even a layman can see the surgery that is needed. It gets so painful at times, that I cannot do anything but sit there and cry, but the one thing I know is the more I stay off of it the better it feels and the less damage is being done. My boy came over yesterday and stayed for about nine hours, and he trimmed an entire tray all by himself! He also moved around for me and brought me everything I needed to work beside him to cut moms and fill my cloner while in a relatively comfortable position. He followed direction well, and was eager to learn everything he could about how the op runs. His gf doesn't like him spending all this time at my place, but excuse me when I say FUCK HER!!! I've never met her, haven't liked her, and like her even less now. I am proud how my kid stands up to her as gently as possible, while firmly putting his foot down. He's already better with women than I am. This is the first time through countless injuries that I've needed help from ANYONE. It is only right that I am getting a little back from all I've given. Anyway, my kid is coming back tomorrow to help plant the new tray and finish up the harvest, and also clean and vacuum the house. It is great to be able to work and spend time together, non-stop great conversation and our bond is only getting stronger. I was hoping my surgery would be early this week, but it is being performed on July 8th. Fuck. I am going to have to give up a LOT of booked gigs, and that is a lot of money. Fortunately, I have talented and very eager colleagues that are happy to perform in my stead and make that money. I already gave up two gigs this last weekend to my married violinist gf, and she is very grateful for the work. I don't mind pain if I know it is leading to healing, it just sucks when it is for naught, or worse, causing more damage. So c'mon doc, fix my shit so I can get on with my life. I'm in a really strange sort of limbo right now. Again, hoping your week is going better than mine...

Damn, this sucks on so many levels....But you are also lucky to have your boy helping. Just think how f***ed you'd be w/o him! I'm sure you have.

Hopefully the doc is feeding you some oxy's for the worst of it . July 8th isn't too bad, but yeah, sooner would be better.

And yeah fuck her is right...she should be over there helping too! He'll be putting her to the curb soon I'm betting!

Sending good vibes your way!!

They need to make sure that most of the internal swelling and bleeding has subsided. It's either very early surgery or late. Get ice on it a LOT, 20 minutes ice, 20 minutes heat end with 20 minutes ice. Stay off it as much as possible. You don't want to take out your medial and lateral collateral ligaments too. Also there's always posterior damage you can do. So now until 7/8 sit on your ass like it's your job.

I'm really glad your son is stepping up. You should text pics of your knee to the female violinist, that's money in the bank. If they gave you opiates don't cut the pain much. You want to hurt right now so you are constantly aware of it and don't do something stupid. Plus they'll work better after surgery and that's when you'll need them.

If I lived closer me and my thrips would come visit and do some shitty trimming for ya :)
:hug: :hug:

I haven't been applying any heat, I guess I'll start that tonight. Glad to hear there's a method to the madness of making me wait.

I hear you, thanks for that. I am moving only when necessary, and then slowly and gingerly. The goal is no further damage!

She's the one that picked me up from the ER, and took me to get my scooter the next day. I sent her a gross leg pic fresh out of the shower, I was contemplating getting a little of my dick in the pic 'on accident' ;)

Thanks for that advice. I'm only taking ibuprofen, and not even enough of that. I know that the pain is there to keep me safe, so I listen closely to it. Looking forward to getting fucked up after surgery, though.

I'm thinking you left out telling us about the shadows.

I used one of these when they replaced my knee, you might get the dr to Rx it for you.
dont rush anything, get well.

I've been feeding crows for years...and a bunch of other wildlife.


I love the crows though, and make sure to feed them daily in the winter, even if it's a few slices of bread, or they love bread with peanut butter, but they are big meat eaters and not fussy. They are so cautious of people though, and nosey. Sometimes I'll pull in the driveway and find them in my patio snooping around but as soon as I pull in, they take off. Last year there were 4 juveniles that hung around together always. This year not so much.
