Normal for Me

It is 4:31AM. We are up and getting ready to go in for my Angiogram. The main problem this morning is my damn knee. It is worse today than yesterday. It is very painful to bend my right leg at all. 

I put a heating pad on my knee all night and that made no difference. I continue to take Cholchrys and it makes no difference. I hope that whatever it is will be reaching it's zenith soon and allow me to return to normal. Well...normal for me.

I fully expect to be back home this afternoon so I am not taking the computer or any extra crap with me. Well...extra crap for me.

5:17PM: It appears I have survived. I've been back home since eleven but went right up to bed and slept all afternoon. I'm still feeling kind of lowgee. I don't think that's really a word but it fits for me right now. 

Nothing new was discovered with the angiogram. I have an appointment in a couple of weeks and I guess we'll discuss things further at that time.

I'll tell you one thing I found kind of inspirational and gave me hope. My nurse that worked with me today is three years into a heart transplant. She works and is doing fine. I'm sure she has lots of conditions and limitations on her but my image of a transplant recipient was not her.

The main thing wrong with me right now is my right knee.

I would say that the right one looks swollen and inflammed. If it is not completely straight, it hurts like a mofo. I'm trying to drink a lot of water and cherry juice. So far, no help!
