River ,'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
He can't seem to manage to see anyone because between work and basketball his hours from 5AM to 10PM are booked.
An injury that needs to be treated in the ER is going to un-book his hours pretty dang fast. If his legs are still very painful after a week, it should definitely get checked out. Stupid gravity, acting the way it does around stairs.
but his legs are still very painful. And one of them feels too warm to me.
It's been a week. He needs to unbook some time and keep himself moving well in the future.
I get the No Wanna, but He Gotta.
Timelies all!
I managed to hurt my back putting on my socks yesterday. (I usually do that standing up, and I lost my balance) I am just so talented.
Oh no, that sucks! Yeah, a visit to a doc would be a good idea.
Possibly relevant side note - the scrape on my shin I got when going over handlebars this summer(? What is time) is still swollen and warm to the touch. And if I try to kneel it can’t take weight. Good times.
I did sleep and physically I feel much better but now it’s dark and I’m depressed and don’t even want to get up and feed the cat and myself. Woe is me.

Yes, the shin doesn't have a lot of protection and bruises there are tough. Also, to say that his legs are massive is an understatement so it is hard to tell even if they are swollen, but they are still ouchy to touch. The skin is shiny which says to me it is stretched. I'll see what I can do with him tomorrow. I asked him to text one of our doctors, but he says he will just say to go to the ER. He is working on bringing up two new practices for us, but one is cardiology and the other gastroenterology, so not so much with the bumps and bruises.
Not paying attention and tumbling on concrete stairs is not recommended.

I could see doing that. Enough with the acrobatics!

Isn't Urgent Care an option? You can usually schedule that.
So I make it a point to look for these little lights, these acts of grace and compassion and kindness. I feel that they're so deeply needed, so I try to actively look for them (oh, and if at all possible, I wish and hope that I can also actually do a tiny bit of that myself, for others). And that's what this Hanukkah is, for me.
Yeah -- I've been thinking a lot about the song "Light One Candle," originally written as a pacifist reaction to the 1982 Lebanon War. [link]
I'll try and talk him into Urgent Care tomorrow. I don't expect him home from basketball until 10, then he will have to upload the film and stuff. Then up at 5:30 in the morning to do it all again.
Does he not have a pcp he can see?
