Weather and knees
May. 19th, 2009 07:33 amIt went down to the low 40s (F) last night. I hope my amaryllis come through all right. It would be a shame to have three years' worth of experiments brought to an abrupt halt by one cold night.
Yesterday I got out of bed and almost collapsed because of a searing pain in my right knee. I did manage to hobble to the places I needed to go, but it was very scary. The searing pain abated over the course of the day (and the consumption of many ibuprofen), but this morning it is very stiff and a bit swollen.
The sharp pain is low and on the inside, with another muscular strain thing high and on the outside.
Interestingly, I was able to ride my bike -- about five miles, total, to go to my various errands -- with only minimal discomfort. Then I had to hobble from my bike inside to my meetings. I contemplated the possible surreality of biking here and there and then using a cane to get around on foot.
This is the worst episode of knee misbehavior that I have ever had.
