View Chris from the inside!

So, in a bit of delayed news, on January 1st, Chris in his haste on the way to work takes an absolutely wicked spill out of the kitchen into the garage, banging his knee on the garage floor and his shin on the door sill. Ouchie. He then proceeds to experience swelling, discomfort, knee "swimminess" and whatnot after a week of standing 8-hours a day at Walgreens. All the while Dad Torda is in town, so we can't go to the doctor, right? Ah yes, Gordonian stubbornness at its best.

So,
Tuesday after Dad T. leaves, it's a trip to the primary doc.
Afterward it's a referral to get x-rays.
And finally on Thursday, a trip to the orthopedic doc who fixed this very knee back in 2003.

The blogworthy piece of all this is that now instead of lugging huge films in a huge manilla envelope to the doc, I am just given a CD to take over. Hmmm, let's see if it works at home also.

Way cool. Enjoy:

So, essentially and thankfully, after a good deal of tugging and prodding and twisting at the ortho, all is structurally sound. Just a boatload of swelling from two bumpies to the leg plus the fun of standing at work all the time. I'll take Prepatellar Bursitis for $100, Alex.

More ice!
