Suffers

For the last 2 weeks, my left patella (kneecap) had a severe pain everytime when I kneel / squad down, especially when I walk up & down the staircases with Adrian. My knee buckles can no longer support my weight when I'm carrying Adrian, I could even hear the cracking sounds during movements. It caused discomfort to me even when I'm sleeping as I can hardly bend or straighten my knee.

Finally dragged myself to the doctor on Wednesday.

The ultrasound instrument showed that my patella was stuck with water and was 'migrated' (out of alignment). The treatment was tough to me. Doctor sucked out the water from my knee with a needle. I was pretty nervous that time, wished mum or hubby was next to me to ease my discomfort. All by myself, I bear the pain throughout the entire process and was later sent to the Physiotherapist for some simple exercises on relocated the kneecap back to its original position, which I have to continuously doing it for the next 2 weeks before my first review. According to the therapist, these exercises will help strengthen the muscles in my thigh so that my kneecap stays aligned. Lastly, I was sent to the X-rays to see how the kneecap fits in its groove.

I've suffered too much throughout these 2 years. I suffered from severe morning sickness during the first 3 months of pregnancy; interrupted sleeps throughout the whole 9-months; had buttock pain during the last 1 month of pregnancy. And now ... after 4 months of birth, I've got this patella problem.

I felt my body is still weak even after 4 months of birth! I seriously salute those mothers who actually got the guts to have the second child ... I surrender!
