hardly walk

I can hardly walk to the bathroom to even step on the scale. My knee issue has worsened and I called in sick to work.
It was feeling a lot better yesterday at work; so much so that I decided to take a 2 block walk up the street to The Gap to see if I could find a cute top to wear to my FMIL's house. On my way back my knee started hurting again. Then I decided to do some last minute shopping last night after work and that's what did it. I was walking (limping) all over Sears and by the time I got home, my knee was throbbing.

I iced it and took Advil as soon as I got home, but neither seemed to help. It's not as bad when I'm just lying here; mostly it's when I try to walk on it that it hurts. I also tried using a heating pad and that didn't do much either. I decided I just need to keep off it, so here I am in bed with my laptop. I'll give my doctor a call when their office opens, but since there's no discoloration or visual swelling, she'll probably tell me to do what I'm already doing. I'll continue alternating ice and heat and Advil. I'll probably take a bath this morning to soak it. Mike's going to pick up an Ace bandage for me on the way home.

freak storm

The natives on the island the cruiseship birthed at for repairs from a “freak” storm, were keen to play us at the English game. The poor sods didn’t know that most of our side were either ex-division footballers or keen-amateurs. The lads didn’t even mind that the priest was ref.

Not a good ref, ignoring fouls but our lads didn’t care one jot. He couldn’t hide his contempt when we won.

I had given up

I had given up hope on getting the little folding treadmill that I wanted off of eBay, however, things worked out in the last few moments. Me and the seller were discussing a mutual withdrawl from the auction and refund of my money when I was able come up with the difference in the cost of shipping and handling between what I had already paid, and what FedEx charged for shipping to Alaska. So now my treadmill has been paid for and will hopefully be shipped out on Tuesday so it should arrive before next Friday. I can't wait to get it, and get it set up, to that I can start and routine of walking every day.
