I am still gimpy, and now I have an irritated cyst.

So I failed to update yesterday after my doctor's appointment, but I'm doing so now.

My new doctor was fairly useless on the subject of my knee. She noted that it was definitely swollen, but it didn't feel warm to her (I think it does now; I will be asking londo to check when he gets home), and unfortunately I told her that it hurt less than the day before, so she told me to just R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compress, elevate) and come back if it swells up more. Well, I think it has, so I'm calling in the morning. Sigh.

She was otherwise okay. I mean, her personality didn't grate on me. She was very quick and methodical, and I think maybe I asked too many questions of her, but whatever. I want to know what's going on. ( This is where I get slightly descriptive regarding medical woes, so if that kind of thing squicks you, you should not read. )

So hopefully this clinic is awesome enough that I can get an appointment tomorrow morning by calling tomorrow morning, otherwise I will be a sad juldea, and no one wants that.

...yes, definitely doctor in the morning

Right then. After londo got home, I had him not read LJ until he put hands on each of my knees and told me if he felt temperature difference. Apparently there's quite a bit of it - my right knee is definitely hot. Also, with my leg bare, I now notice that the swelling has gone down into my calf. So something is definitely not right. :(
