(Ice + slip) X (ground + knee) = OUCHIE

[Guest guest]

Some of you have heard that I slipped on the ice last night while

walking to dinner. If that sounds painful, good, it was. Still is

really.

You'll think I'm psycho but I did walk the three quarters of a mile

down to the restaurant with my right knee hurting a bit about half

way and still a little stiff the rest. After dinner we started back

and the pain was terrific but again lessened about half way (and this

was up hill).

Fast forward to this morning. My PCP, whose specialty is Internal

Medicine ironically, called me back and told me a few things, most

good news.

1. Verified that I can't take NSAIDS which would really help in this

situation. How nice.

2. Said it didn't sound like I did permanent or really long term bad

damage. Good news.

3. Said I SHOULD actually use the knee and keep moving. Weird okay.

4. Said I should ice it for the first 48hrs but no more than 20

minutes a day or every 12 hrs or something like that. Again, weird

but okei dokei.

5. When I am sitting I should have me knee elevated above my heart. I

confirmed that it's okay to not have it that way at work. I probably

could massage work into time off at home logged in remotely with that

excuse but then I wouldn't be using it. I might get some sympathy at

work too.

6. The swelling will run a 10 day course and could get more

pronounced in the coming days. Well that's fun.

7. Tylenol will help the pain only not swelling. Really? I've been

taking extra strength and it's done only a little bit pain reduction

wise but we'll keep that up.

Of course I was waiting for the doctor to say, " Oh my God you walked

on it you fool! " At least that didn't happen. I should still be able

to get a good week of sympathy off this. On the bright side I now

have an excuse to not dance with my date next Saturday. Oh maybe I

could tell her that it's hurting a bit and we need to go back to my

place and lie down? Such a DOG!! Nah I can probably slow dance or

something by then. Whatever it's all good.

I have shoulder issues and my doctor said to keep it moving. If I don't

use it it could get " stuck " and require surgery. ACK!!!

I like those last couple of ideas and personally I would milk it for

Sorry about your knee Sweetcheeks; keep it moving to prevent

stiffness. You'll be glad you did! Take care lisamathis

[Guest guest]

Poor baby. I would think that moderate use would be more prudent. An injury

needs a certain amount of rest to recover. Or is that old-fashioned now?!

Hugs, D.
