Two Goats & Yoga

In my last goat post, when Elliott died, I said I kept Dahlia.  I loved that girl, but I made a decision and a couple of weeks ago, I found a home for Dahlia.  I had a couple of days where I felt guilty and almost told them I wanted her back.  They were supposedly going to put her in the fair for 4H.  I hope so...
But, Dakota and Morgan are getting along fine now.  No one screams at 4 pm because I'm not there yet.  It is quieter than it has ever been since she's been gone.  I need to go out and hike with them since Morgan hasn't done it yet.  My knees have been killing me so I bought a video on Yoga.
Gentle Yoga...  so far it has been, I'm doing the floor bit for my legs and upper body and I've been doing the section in the chair.   I think it's helping, I just need to be able to move a bit better especially since I'm going to Ireland in Oct.
On my knees.  I was taking a pill called Meloxicam for my knees for about 3 months.  I had a problem with my legs and feet swelling so went to the dr.  He had me wear compression socks and said low salt diet.  We already to low salt...
So, I started reading up on the pill.  Hmmm, it can cause kidney failure, water retention, weight gain, yep, that's me.  I quit taking it, and now my knees are killing me.  So, I can move now or die later, what do I do?  I'm thinking of refilling my prescription and maybe only taking them every other day just so I can move.  I do think the yoga is helping, so will maybe continue it without the pill.  If it gets too bad, will get my prescription refilled.
