I've Woke Up With Extreme Joint Swelling
[ Wednesday May 30th 2018 at 8:05 am ]

My hip joints are very swollen this morning. The length of my step has been reduced to 4cm or roughly 1½". My walking speed is less than 1 meter (about 3 feet) a minute. This really brings home what I've been dealing with and the continual digression in my hip and knee joints.

I have been working on deep cleaning my home. But this has been constantly interrupted over the past year. With many days not going well due to pain and broken sleep I've not been getting the cleaning (or very much of anything else) done. I've been only having short pockets of quality productive time for the essentials of daily life when not suffering the effects of debilitating pain.

It just isn't working for me. I need to work out a different strategy for my day to day life and what is going to restore some of my quality of life.
