Call me Less-Gimpy

[pjthompson]

Went to the doctor. Severe muscle strain and I've been doing all the right things: heat, elevation, aspirin, keeping off it. It's doing much better today. I may have to visit an orthopedic guy for the joint, but at least I can get out of a chair without the muscle spasming. I consider that a win. :-)

Too much slam dancing in the 80s, I guess. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Or, you know, fun.

Min's been happy at having so much extra lap time. I live to please Min.

Hope it feels better SOON.

Sounds like Min has been keeping you well-loved, though. :)

[pjthompson]

Thanks--and yes, Min has been a great remedy. :-)

Live heat pack. It's just a little tricky getting a cat to flop over the exact right spot. . . .

[pjthompson]

I kept moving her pillow so she had to lay on the right spot. :-)

Clever!

*pets the poor knee*

*gently*

[pjthompson]

Thank you. It's getting better.

Clever Min...she must have arranged your poor knee injury just so she could have a readily available lap anytime she wants. :)

Glad it's nothing too serious - I do hope it heals quickly and feels better soon!

[pjthompson]

I wouldn't put it past her to have triggered that fire alarm at work. ;-)

I, too, was wondering what could be her hand in it. A lap is a prized thing and I can imagine her scheming--in the nicest way possible, bien sur--to have the luxury even more frequently. >:}

[pjthompson]

She is EEEvile. (But in the cutest possible way.)

It is good that Min is getting serious lap time. This means you are resting.

How did you manage to reactivate this or was it one of those nasty, sneaky spontaneous things?

[pjthompson]

There's a chronic joint thing going on, exacerbated by pulling a muscle along the side of the knee that radiated down to the calf. I don't know if it was because the joint was so stiff and I walked funny, but it never completely got better. I haven't been able to do stairs and I think being forced to walk down three flights of stairs really stressed it so that the next time I did anything even minimally stretchy it freaked out completely. So I've got it calmed down and I'll just be very careful with it for awhile, try to keep it rested this weekend and go from there.

Hi, Less-Gimpy!!! Hi!!

::waves wildly::

[pjthompson]

A truly handsome kitty!

[will-couvillier.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's Mr.Sylvester. He's sitting here watching the cursor as I type.

Min got disgusted and went to curl up on her favorite afghan.

I'm happy to hear things are going the right way.

And you know cats are good for people feeling poorly. :)

[pjthompson]

Cats are the best remedy possible. :-)

[kmkibble75.livejournal.com]

Very glad to hear that it's feeling better, and isn't anything as serious as one might have feared.

And a happy Min is just bonus. :-)

[pjthompson]

One must always strive to keep Min happy! (Or else.) :-)

It's gotten so I assume 'Somebody' is officially your alias. ;-)

I know. Isn't it pathetic? (This time was intentional.)
