State of the knee report.

[miladycarol]

I’m bored! Gah! G won’t let me do anything! I’ve been sitting around since Monday. I finished my banking, paid my bills, did the budgeting, finished the back of my sweater, am trying to figure out the lace part of the bottom to start the next section and I’ve drunk countless pots of tea between rubbing ice and arnica gel on my knee. But, I’m bored. I wanna get on my bike or go for a walk.

I’m feeling better. I really am. I have almost all my ROM back and the pain and swelling are almost all gone. Well, okay, not really almost all gone, but very very manageable and well within my pain tolerance. I should be able to go out and do things, right? RIGHT?

I guess this makes me a bad patient, doesn’t it?

Design some gaming materials...

Maybe some NPC's or Supplements for systems like Vampire or D&D.

Umm...or call for G to come out of his office get something, let him settle in and then call him to come in again and do something else...that could be fun.

The funny thing is, I've been working on finances and art all week. I'm really just missing the physical portion of my usual day. I miss hopping on the bike and running to do my errands. I miss walking and working out in the garden. My problem is I'm tired of just sitting. I have a room full of people gaming in the dining area and I'm still bored. Why? Because I haven't really moved in days. *dramatic sigh*

Perhaps we could get together and visit today sometime. Let me know what you think.

Well, yes. Probably so. *g*

Do bear in mind that pain from an injury is there to point out to you that you need to take it easy until it's healed, not for you to fight and conquer...

You read about the joys of cob or compost toilets or a strawbale greenhouse to fill in a little time....

Actually, it's not a lack of things to do with my hands, read nor think about. I've been doing that since Monday. My problem is the lack of mobility. I'm used to accomplishing a certain amount physically and I'm not meeting that quota. It's frustrating to me. I realize the pain's purpose, I can respect and listen to it, but I don't feel like I have to like it. *shrugs* My own personal demons, that's all.

Thanks for the cool reading material, though. *smiles*

I didn't mean to imply you had to like it...I apologise if that's how it sounded.

And you're welcome.

Not at all. I'm just further explaining my complaint. I didn't mean to sound so much like a brat. I just have a minimal physical portion to my day and that isn't being fulfilled. I'm restless and having trouble sitting still. It makes it harder to do my hand projects or read when I want to jump up and boogie. *shakes head and smirks*

You're not a bad patient, just an impatient *smirk*
A little patience right now will pay off in the end, though. If you push it, you're likely to end up having more permanent difficulties.
So listen to Dr. G and take your medicine, my dear!
