Management

My knee, like my weight, needs to be managed.  End of story.  I know this now. There is nothing else to be done except to continue to make the time to keep myself strong and active.

Still, I wish people would stop telling me that I'll hurt less because I am stronger.  Let's not forget all the other things that are wrong in there besides the OA.  I heard it AGAIN today.  I just.... ugh.  That's nice that you are hopeful, but I live daily with pain that when I am still can bring tears to my eyes.  Do me a favor and don't gloss over that fact.
