So happy for you about the knee! It's hard to eat right when you are selling a house. So happy to hear about Bobby's nice day too. I'm excited to find out what you find out from your trip.

This is the right doctor! If you are going to consider getting it cleaned out at some point, I would even think about traveling back and staying with your sister a few days.

Thanks Morticia! I just have to get through the rest of this week and next week before leaving for a week. I have to get the house ready for the photographer and my realtor wants me to move the microwave cart and microwave out of site plus some other things including all the pet beds and furniture. I use the microwave a lot. The grocery store does have some salads that are ready to eat and other food. I just hope I get an offer while I'm gone, maybe more than one!

Thanks Kat! Once I move to Oregon I will need to get new insurance. Medicare will be the same but not the supplement which covers everything or nearly everything Medicare doesn't covet. But it really shows how important it is to get 2nd, even 3rd opinions!

something that helps me stay on track is meal prepping for the week. I only mess the kitchen one day, but have healthy, homemade meals for the week. Good luck on the sale of your house!

Thanks Kay! I used to cook on the weekend for the work week, but stopped once I retired. I do like to freeze leftovers and have add me in the freezer now. Once I get back from Oregon, hopefully things will be better

Thanks Wifey! It is a huge relief! And it makes more sense to me to not do such a tough surgery when i have very little pain.

Wow! I’m so glad you got another Drs opinion! What a difference in diagnosis. It sounds like the pain is somewhat manageable right now which is good as it helps with all you have to do. As for eating badly, well it’s hard when you have so much going on. Just try to do your best and recoup when you are able. I’m excited to see what you end up getting. Best of luck!💜💜💜💜💜

Thanks Diana! It seems odd to me that my PCP and 2 orthopedists all said the same thing about the MRI, torn meniscus and floating cartilage but there was such a drastic difference in what the orthopedists said to do about it. I realize at some point I'll probably have to have something done but for now I can deal with this. The knee still aches some but last night I didn't need to take Ibuprofen, first time since this all started. I am going to be able to rest today, I had a house cleaner scheduled but we changed it to Monday, the day before the house will be photographed. Lots to do Monday, even though there is very little furniture I still have things to move into closets or the garage.

Maybe you can move the microwave to a spot you can plug it in?? The premade salad idea sounds good. Glad you got good news on the knee. That's one less thing to stress about during your transition to Oregon. Good luck on selling your house & finding a new one!

Feel better!
FYI, no matter what your eating habits are like, you probably have at least one good habit!
You could name a good habit you have, maybe, if you are aware enough to know what it is, and if you’re not sure, ask someone who knows what you eat lol.
After you name that good habit, keeping it and letting that positivity help you create other good habits, might help.

Thanks SherryeB, I was going to put the microwave in one of the walk in closets, but no plugs in there. I will hide it somewhere for the pictures but use it often. I will probably put it in the garage while on my trip to Oregon,but after that I will put it on the kitchen counter and the realtor will just have to live with it. My knee is actually aching quite a bit this morning as well as my foot which I wrapped in an ace bandage. I'm trying to take it easy today since I have no appointments but I keep thinking of something I want to move!

Thanks Laine! Actually, when it comes to eating I'm either very good or very bad. Can't think of a good habit I'm sticking to right now. But I rarely have a period of eating so poorly anymore. Hopefully, this ends soon!

Do you make too many sharp changes—even if those changes are reasonable, but the pace of them compared to before, is not?

*And *anything*, even something small, is at least on track for a good habit. For example, even if you eat junk food every single day, but eat healthy except for a small amount of it daily, you are doing better than many people.
Or maybe you need to kick junk food but at least don’t drink calories. Or maybe you don’t eat sweets even if you eat junk. Or maybe you eat poorly, but rarely or never emotionally eat. Or maybe you never eat out.
Maybe you cook not-so-healthy things but at least cook from scratch and not convenient ingredients. Or maybe you don’t eat meat, even if your vegetarian diet is poor. Or maybe you drink calories, but close to moderation, and not drinking caloric drinks like water lol.
Even habits like the ones I mentioned, as in slightly poor habits, but better than some people, can turn into good habits!!!
Those may or may not be *your* specific sort-of-good habits, but I’m sure you have some.

Try PRP injections from Regenerix. No insurance but worked for me. Also if the pain is inside or outside the knee, I am wearing an 'off-loading knee brace' to help heal the knee. Replacement is definately a last resort, but some Oroth doctors make a living doing it. best regards,

All the best resisting urges to move things!
I'll admit to eating multiple entire pumpkin pies in November and cheesecakes in December. (Had maybe been too extreme low carb for too long.)
