Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!'

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I...may not be going to get sushi for dinner and seeing a movie. This shit really hurts if I move at all. It doesn't hurt as long as I have my leg propped up and don't move.

Fortunately, we are so decrepit and falling apart that we have many icepacks.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Yeah, don't make it worse.

Is an ER visit getting serious consideration?

Punishingly Intricate

Oh no! Knees really are stupid

Our wings are not tired.

Whoever designed these mortal bodies should have been fired and replaced with a competent engineer.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Ugh Steph, knees really are the worst when they don't knee properly.

If it seems worse tomorrow, then yes. But I figure I can do rest, ice, compression, elevation, and ibuprofen at home for the first 24 hours and see if that calms it down.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm sorry your knee isn't kneeing properly, Steph.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I've reached the life stage where one or the other knee decides its not happy, without much in the way of doing anything that should have excited it. I fear the day when one of them will just stay like that....

Oh, man, Steph! That really stinks. I hope the ice and elevation and i uprofen help a TON and it feels better tomorrow.

I'm just super happy it happened at home, on the 4 steps leading to the front porch, instead of last week at the beach, where all the houses are on stilts and therefore have a minimum of 1 flight of stairs just to get into a place (our AirBnB had 2 flights from the driveway to the front door -- one day I said in exasperation "Next year, I will definitely start training my quads a month before vacation!"), because hurting my knee there would have sucked.

One more dose of ibuprofen before bed, and hopefully it'll hurt less tomorrow.
