What to do after a Cortisone injection!!

So I had another trip to see the knee Dr. this week. Basically, the knee is gone and it is time for me to see about getting it replaced. I am being sent to a knee replacement specialist. We will see what happens from there.
At the Dr., since I was in so much pain, he gave me another cortisone injection. The knee feels better, not great, but at least I can walk and be on my feet and then load up with pain meds and ice packs at night! So, what would you do? I decided to paint the bathroom. Might as well get it done before the knee gets really bad again. The last injection only lasted 3 months, so I figured I better hurry and get this done before I was laid up for a LONG time!!





Here are some pictures. Jessica made the pretty swag that hangs over the lights and mirror!





I have also included a picture of my "Gratitude Tree". We made these in YW. Basically the idea was to come up with people you were grateful for and acknowledge them in some way. These names were hung on our tree and each week, we send one of these people a note, or do something special for them. This passed off a value experience in YW and Jackie wanted to see it for her Activity Days.
