Bum knee

[McNulty]

I screwed up my bad knee ( had it "scoped" several years ago and had 90% of the cartillage removed) again last night snow blowing the driveway and walks around the house. Saw the Doc this A.M. and he drained the bugger but no blood in the fluid (really good news, so no new tears). Darn knee blew up to three times the size of normal. So, I'm laying here at home kilted with my knee propped up and properly iced down, taking some really good perscription drugs for pain wondering what I can do for the next two days laid-up at home. I had to get a sub for classes and am worried about how things are going, is she/he covering the material properly and how much re-teaching I'll have to do when I get back...SO I had to do something to get my mind off of school. Simple solution...X-Marks! I resolved to try to post a thread or comment to as many of the areas on the forum as possible. If I start to get foggy and incoherrent from the Vicodin I'll stop, take a nap, and resume. It is amazing how confined you feel when trying to navigate your own home using crutches. It was a bear trying to get my hose on this morning. Oh well, here goes.

I feel for you sir, I have two bad knees and the weather right now is not doing them any good. Take it easy and do what the doc say...

Hope you get better soon. Thats one more positiv side to the kilt. Think how difficult it would be if you used trousers.

I am so sorry to hear of your dicky knee. Apart from bombarding xmarks with highbrow comments, do you, I wonder, tie your own flies?

I used to tie my own, but lost the technique over time. Some of the shops I loan out to for guiding supply flies to us to give to the patrons and I'll keep some of the left-overs. I got lazy and stopped tieing. There are some classes forming up during the winter and I'll try to get in some.

Howdy, Sir!

I just had my first knee 'scope about 2 months ago, and they're talking about doing a couple of more in the spring. I sympathize completely, and am pulling for you. Just, for goshsakes, stay off the knee.

Ouch! Take it easy and I'll watch for your pithy posts.

Did you mean tears (rip/torn) or tears (water leaking from the eyes)? Either way, here's to fast healing.

It's obvious that you kneed to do something to keep your mind off your knee. You kneed to keep it well rested and iced down. It's nice to know that when the Dr inserted the kneedle no blood was present. Kneedless to say, drugs are not the answer, no matter how kneedy you are. And if you are just at home, perhaps you don't kneed to put hose on.

Guess I kneed to stop fooling around and get back to work, but I couldn't resist.

I hope you have a speedy recovery!
