I've done something BAD to my knee. It started out very suddenly. I biked home from work on Monday or Tuesday and when I got home, my knee was really hurting. Mostly when I went from sitting to standing. It has gotten progressively worse all week. This morning I woke up and was limping. Not good. I think it might be from biking. I don't know what has caused it though. I'm not sure if it's some sort of acute thing or if it has been building up over time. I have had a slight pain in this knee before but not like this. Cutie thinks I should lay off the biking for awhile. NO BIKING? I don't know if I can do it. On the other hand, I don't even know if I could actually bike anywhere the pain is so bad. I told her I'd go to the doctor if it still hurts when she gets back from NY. I don't know ANYTHING about knee injuries as mine have always been reliable. I typically get back and shoulder stuff. I feel old and crotchety this morning.

Yes, Cutie is going out of town. I think I might quite possibly die. I'm sure I will knock her over with a tackle when she returns but WAH. She will be in NY for a week starting tomorrow morning. I really won't get to see much of her today either because we both have other obligations today.

I have been irritable the past two days. Irritable beyond belief. I think it's delayed PMS because I thought I was going to freak-out at work yesterday. I kept trying to get caught up and everytime I saw the pile getting smaller someone would come and drop off more work. It was like that cartoon with the worker buried beneath papers at their desk. I completely snapped at one of my coworkers and then promptly apologized, but part of me still feels like she had it coming. You just don't bring someone a STAT request at 4:50 on a Friday afternoon. IT IS NOT DONE.

Oh. My. God. Go see someone about your knee sooner than that.

I am now hypersensitive about knees. :|

If I think about your knee I get freaked out. I think you're right though, I should go in sooner. I read some stuff on the net and I think it might be tendinitis? Maybe.

You don't want to dick with your knees. They're your way into the world. Ugh, trust me on this one.

And.. were you on the swim team in high school? Or did you play flute for Pirates of Penzance? I know I had some sort of contact with you..

I was on swim team in high school. I also played flute but never for Pirates of Penzance.

I feel like since I turned 30 all of my parts are breaking.

I think we were on the swim team together in 94-95. And we were probably definitely in band together.

And yeah. I know the "parts breaking" feeling. Only I'm not 30. :|
