Saw an orthopedic doc for my bad knee. Said I am a candidate for knee replacement surgery. Back story - tore the meniscus in 2013 and had to have surgery. It has been bone on bone since then). He wants to prolong the life of my current worn down knee and postpone surgery as long as possible as I am only 48 years old. I ended up with a cortisone shot. (Already did the rooster comb shots) This is my last change for pain reduction so I can keep moving, enjoying exercising and life again. He told me it will take a bit before it kicks in, and I am praying that I get some relief!

I just completed my first 30 minute work out with a trainer. We did whole body weights and the trainer pushed me in a good way. I am heading back to the fitness center later to get my cardio on as I had a conference call to run to, but I feel so accomplished. I was able to do all the exercises, albeit some were really tough. I could actually pull my knee to my chest! Can we talk high and low planks? WOW! Takes a lot of core strength which I definitely need to improve upon. So I signed up with this trainer to meet 2x/week to help keep me accountable. Here is the other thing...I was worried about breaking wind while I was doing all this exercising but thankfully it didn't happen. I am so gassy these days and I feel like I can't control it. I wonder if I am alone with this issue...

You are not alone with the gas! I worry about that sometimes too. It used to be worse, but it has gotten better in the last few weeks. I am extremely gassy now. I do use a straw frequently, so I wonder if that is the culprit.
And congrats on the trainer! That is something I really want to try. I just cringe at the cost factor.

I am embarrassingly gassy. You are not alone. But the good thing is that the wind that comes from the 'nether regions' does not smell! At least
