The Pain of it All

I never made it to the doctor for my sickness. We had an accident involving the water bed, and then I hurt my knee on Monday or Wednesday. I don’t know what day I accurately hurt my knee, just that I woke up Thursday morning with a stiff, sore knee. So I went to the doctor anyway and it was a fractured patella.

Next week is finals and I’m valiantly fighting pain with both heat and ice, as well as wearing a brace (I got one yesterday) and trying to keep off the knee as much as I can. I have a bottle of narcotics here, but I’m not going to take any because I want to be alert to study for my finals as well as when I get there. It helps that one final is open note, but that doesn’t mean I can’t screw it up. I need to make a good grade in these classes so I can pass and get on with my major.

I also discovered Pepsi throwback; Pepsi made with natural sugar instead of corn syrup or whatever they sweeten sodas with these days. Oooo, I sound 100 making a statement like that!! haha. Anyway, it’s good until it starts to warm up, then it tastes funny.

I also rented all five Saw movies from NetFlix, as well as all of the Futurama videos. I wanted something to watch while I’m bed ridden, but they’re still downloading! How long does it take to download movies on a high-speed cable modem? According to my download monitor, it could be another week before they’re done downloading. In the mean time, my connection is as slow as my dial up was. Maybe I should resort to playing video games until my knee heals?
