Throbby. I keep deciding it's not that bad, and I should, you know, get over it, but then I sit for half an hour with my leg bent so my knee is a couple inches higher than my foot and it gets all throbby again.

It's not that swollen! It should stop hurting.

Jesse sounds like "if I have to shank him myself." is floating on the end of your pronouncement.

Ha! Not at all -- it's just, he's old, so I can't imagine the sentence will end up shorter than the rest of his life, even if it's not actually "life in prison."

I suddenly feel the need to add "if I have to shank him myself" to the end of many of my sentences.
