Timelies all!
Happy Birthday ChiKat!
Went to the Who concert last night.(Never saw them live before) The concert was good, but I don't think I want to do floor seats again. (Seats in the back of the floor + short person = can't see much of the stage, if anything.)
I missed the birthday! Happy Birthday ChiKat!
I am home with my leg up and frozzen broccoli on my knee. There is a swollen spot on the left side of my kneecap, but nothing hurts when I press on it.
What it really weird is that I am knock kneed and pigeon toed, and this seems to have reversed that???
How does one make oatmeal (no prize for that segue) in the microwave without everything going splodey?
Use a tall bowl and cover it with a paper towel.
If you have any sports wrap, Sophia, wrap your knee before you go to bed. Also, take the blessed ibuprofen if you can.
I hope it's minor. I've had bad knees since my teens and I don't wish them on anyone, except maybe Karl Rove and Grover Norquist.
Not to be all medical advice all the time, but do you think I could wrap in in stretch fabric strips. I have no sports wrap, but plenty of fabric
Sophia, that should work. Just make sure you're not cutting off circulation to your lower leg.
Probably, if you can cut a fairly long 2-3"-wide strip that stretches the long way.
Thamks guys! I am wrapped, elevated, and ibuprofened. I am crossing my fingers that it will be OK because a) this literally happened by just sitting down b) this is the opposite leg of my bad hip c)I have a designer comming for fittings this weekend and they will be seriously difficult if I can't squat and get up fast.
Yikes, good luck with that, Sophia!
OTOH, she's weirdly excited about the prospect of getting braces. Which, I don't even. Where on earth does she get this?
When we were little, my cousin and I always used lemon rinds (from iced tea) as play braces. Good times!
I wanted both glasses and a prosthetic leg as a kid. If you've managed to escape (so far) any messages that these things will get you mocked or ostracised, you can pretty easily build the idea up to cyborg status in your fevered childlike imagination.
I was desperate to break something and have a cast. I think the special attention was the draw.
Sophia, I hope you're better tomorrow. Surprise injuries are no good.
