I don't know just how or what happened, but my left knee refuses to bend without causing me excruciating pain. Pain scale of one to ten, when I'm at rest and the left leg is straight, it's level two or three. Try to get out of bed or get out of my chair, and it's a solid 8. Walk with a straight leg is maybe a five or so.
Doctor's appoint tomorrow. We'll see what he says.
And, should you check the rainfall in Columbus, OH, you'll note that it's a swamp right now. My sump pump is running every 7 to 10 minutes for about 10 to 15 seconds. My best plumber told me to hang tough so long as the basement was dry (it is) and if things don't settle down by the weekend to give him a call.
I may send out for a pizza.

Lord, put your hand upon this man, bringing healing, and the ability to deal with the pain.
How’re ya today, Jack? Did it work itself out…?
Good luck with the knee. We're 15" over our average rainfall so far and the dumbass weather dude was talking about possible drought.
Research DMSO
ask the Doc for the hyaluronan injections A & B shots. They're not short lasting steroid with pain killers but really help for a couple months [least with me anyway]
CW: Amen, and thank you.
Glen: I'm not running any foot races today. Tomorrow isn't looking good either.
Gerry: Yeah, drought. We're supposed to get rain for the next week or two, then the drought will start.
Bigus: Thanks, I will. Seriously, thanks for the tip.
Grey: I'm betting that's what he'll offer next. If not, I'll ask. This gimping around all the time is no fun at all.
If the pain was a solid 8 when this started, I'm at a constant 3 or so now. I take the stairs one at a time, and housework is hard for me. So, I think another visit to the witch-doctor is in order.
