I slept a good solid ten hours last night, woke up this morning rarin' to go... and stayed that way all day! Surprised me, I did!

My knee, that was such a source of pain two days ago, felt like it did before it started bothering me. Of course, I'm still being really gentle with it.

I know that for ages, older people and people with certain bone/joint/muscle diseases have blamed the weather for their ailments flare-ups, and I do have a touch of Arthur in several joints, but I have never before had such a pure personal demonstration of the power of... what? Humidity? Barometric pressure? Gloom?

My worst days with the knee were rainy or misty or drizzly. The last two days here have been sunshiny and warming... and my knee's better. How does it do that? I really don't think that it's psychosomatic, but then I wouldn't, would I? Would I? Hare lip! Hare lip!

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

We did have a pretty active day at work, but I haven't been called back in, so I guess that things are going OK. I know that I have at least one patient in the morning, so I'll probably go in about 09:00 and do that one. The computers are going to be down for a good portion of the day tomorrow, so things will be confused, I'm sure. The computer system that will be down is the one that the nurses use to order exams on, so I'm sure that I'll be on the phone a lot.

I'll take it as it comes, regardless. I don't really have a choice in the matter.

I do enjoy life a helluva lot better when I don't hurt and when I sleep well. Those are my goals... sleeping, having no pain, enjoying life.


Thanx for being here!
