The Swelling Chronicles Cont.

    My weekend has been spent nursing a very swollen knee instead of a Grade A hangover. At this moment I think a tequila hangover would be better. I have iced, elevated, taken anti-inflammatory meds, and kept myself pretty hydrated. Yet this swelling will not surrender! My knee gave me no choice but to call Bobby the PT guy and Dr. Cochran's nurse to tattle. Tacky yes but quite necessary.

    Bobby suggested I come to morning PT so they can have a look and try to calm the swelling down. If I can find no relief I get to have my knee drained by Dr. Cochran's nurse tomorrow afternoon. I wrapped my knee and propped her up on the biggest pillow I could find which seems to be helping. The swelling chronicles will continue tomorrow after I find out 1) why the hell is my knee swelling so much, and 2) if I have to get my knee drained. Goodnight everyone!

My knee in happier times.

I'm just going to think happy thoughts. The beach always makes me happy.
