The Run

[railenthe]

12:28 PM.  As luck would have it my sinuses continue to act stupid.  They're even still doing that poppy-fizzy thing; while there is some improvement, that should never happen.

 

And the knee—oh, this damn knee!  While that is what I am off to better manage, the sinuses are stealing the show.

 

Time to hop a bus.

3:54 PM.  After much poking, prodding, and doctor tools I find out a few things:

 

① I'm going to have to see a specialist about the knee.  The fact that it's still sore is less unusual than the fact that the pain is in only the front of the leg.  Apparently that's not normal.

 

② When I cut my finger I severed a few nerves.  I can expect feeling in it again in about another four months—the violent itch under the skin is nerve re-growth.

 

③ The alarming frequency of sinus infections I get now necessitates daily saline in something called a neti pot.  Apparently they're so messed up that my sinuses simply don't have a defense system—that fizzing sensation was the sign.

 

④ Despite the gym habit I've picked up, my leg still shows evidence of wasting.  I find this alarming.

 

⑤ All this crap making me feel lousy is not all in my head.  (Just the sinuses, which are, in fact, part of my head.)

 

And now, time for my triumphant (?) return home.

And I thought being reduced to a body as stiff as starched card was worth grumbling about. (Damn you Wii Fit! You hath reduced me to having trouble getting up! I was easily pinned down by a 10 pound cat!)

Good gravy, how is it you're still standing after all this!?

That knee issue does sound distressing...hopefully it's still at a point where it can be sorted without too much angst or extreme treatment. (Though the one that would give me hell would be the finger - I'd find it a giant thorn in my proverbial side especially as it would hamper my drawing ability.)

I don't know which one to pray for a speedy recovery for most, just as long as you get better!
