Kneed An Update?
The doctor has cleared me for the holidays. Sort of. I can drive, I can walk, but I can’t put too much pressure (a/k/a too much weight) on my right leg. I’m also required to stay off the leg as much as possible, and wear the brace for another ten days. Ten days of misery. I hate that thing, but I must confess: it really works.
The swelling has gone down significantly, and I can extend my knee almost completely. The only thing I cannot do is bend the knee further than a 90 degree angle. This is due to the tear in the meniscus (and I still thing that word is hilarious), as well as the position my leg was in as I tumbled down the stairs.
So, because I’m 50% better, I’m going to work tomorrow for just a few hours. Driving is still scary for me because my reflexes aren’t 100% yet. This makes me nervous and I’m surprised the doc said I could drive.
Today I got in the car and drove slower than my grandmother, and she couldn’t drive. I made a lot of last minute holiday shoppers/drivers angry with my snail’s pace on the main drag. Sorry about that, dear drivers.
This is off topic, but I have to tell y’all how ticked off I am at the Packers. Seriously….they lost to the Bears. The freakin’ BEARS…
Ugh.
If the Detroit Lions beat ‘em next week I’ll be…..furious. (Like I am now…but multiplied by 10 million.)
I’m starting to think the Pack is playing to lose so they get a better draft pick next year.
At least the NY Bretts, I mean Jets, are doing well. Go Favre! Superbowl bound? This would work in the Packer’s favor, too. If the Jets make the bowl and win, the Pack will get a first round draft pick in ‘09. I could dig that….
