  • 05.14.07 Hairline fracture posted in personal

    That’s what they told me they found when they said I needed crutches. The doctor told me earlier that I wouldn’t need crutches. That I could just walk gingerly on my leg until the swelling went down. Now, he says he found some hairline fractures, and that I am supposed to keep pressure off of the leg to help them heal. Curious.

    Other than that, the knee scoping went well. I don’t feel any pain yet. There is just a huge bandage and a lot of swelling. But that should go down quickly. I am looking forward to having some smooth knee bending action again.

  • 05.14.07 I’m hungry posted in food, personal

    What I’d really like now is some stuffed french toast from the Egg & I. Man, that’s some good eats. The Egg & I was the last restuarant I’ve been to that actually made good home fries. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not too into the trend where restaurants put a pile of hash browns on the griddle and let one side get brown before flipping the mess over onto the plate. I like to have my breakfast potatoes cooked. But I digress…

    I’m hungry, but I am not allowed to eat.

    In roughly 1.5 hours, I go in to get my left knee scoped. After more than a year of tolerating a rough joint, I have made the appointment to get some scar tissue cleaned up and some loose cartilage removed. It’s an out-patient procedure, so everything will be fine. The Doc says I will have some swelling, but I won’t need crutches. I certainly hope that’s true.
