pjthompsonI hurt my knee...oh, about a month ago. (More, maybe, but I don't want to think about it.) I've been limping along, thinking it would get better, and it does, but then it gets worse again, then it gets better. Have I gone to the doctor? No, I'm an A-1 doctor-avoider, I am. Very dudelike.
Then Monday we had a fire alarm at work. I work on the third floor. I do not recommend walking down three flights of stairs with a bad knee. (Can't use the elevators in a fire alarm.) It turns out the fire alarm was caused by some asshat smoking a cigar in our smoke-free building, but that's another story.
Yesterday, the knee hurt quite a bit, but I was still hobbling along. This morning, however, when I crossed my leg to tie my shoe, something went ping! and ohmygod. I have to face the thing I've been running from: I need to go to the doctor.
Sitting at a desk is quite uncomfortable, so I left work half day and I can't spend much time at this desk, either, so if I'm not around much in the next few days you'll know why. I go to the doctor tomorrow. Long walk from the parking to the doc's office. That should be fun.
Oh well. It won't kill me, so it will only make me stronger, right? Except maybe my knee, of course.
