I was in a bad car wreck 11.5 years ago and its effects are really starting to show (won't bore you with all the details). Apparently, I turned and was t-boned pretty hard. I have no memory of it at all. My car, which I would still drive today if I could, was a Volvo wagon and I must have had my left leg extended on the clutch because my knee and hip weren't broken, but were injured and years of working on my feet didn't help. All that said, I need a total knee replacement. I was wanting to get out of debt more first, but for survival sake, should I just have it done? I'm early-mid 40s, so I will have to have it done again later on. Ugh.
I can walk and I make sure to exercise daily as much as I can, but I do tire. Wth all that's going on, should I take this on or hold off? I can technically wait a little longer, and have been waiting for the stupid c19 hysteria to blow over, but with their squealing and reeeeeing about primate pox, I may hold off. My husband wants me to do it and he will use his vacation time to take care of me.
What would you lot do?
I see in you comment below that you starting to incur more pain in your everyday life. Welcome to getting older.
My advise is learn to embrace the pain as part of life.
I know this don't help, but as long as your hurting you know your alive.
Hahaha! Very true. It takes longer to recover from things that's for sure!
