I was shaky, couldn't keep a straight thought in my head and I cried all day. Bad stuff!

Elizabeth...why did you have so many surgeries on your knee? My sister has had more than that on her knee - she just recently had a Meniscus Transplant. Dan, my husband doesn't like taking any type of medication...I have had to force him to take the pain medication, as well as the Celebrex. He is done with the Celebrex and will refuse to take the medicine for his pain. I went out and got him some Tylenol PM so that he can sleep better w/no pain...he slept really good last night but he is afraid that he slept too good. One thing I never have to worry about is him getting addicted to pain medication - he is currently on Vicodin - it makes him sick to his stomach - and hates the way he feels when he is on it. That is why I have to force him to take it when he is in pain...he would rather deal with the pain then take the medicine.
Thanks!
