The Neon Nurse's Charting

Remember how Mike and I went to work out at the Community Building last Thursday? The office person had to go way back in the files and find my punch cards, one of which went back to 1994. I explained to her that it has taken me a long time to use up the cards because everytime I come there, something happens so that I can't come back for a while. (And then I forget....)

At least this time I don't have to have a sudden hysterectomy. (I know those are one to a customer--I AM a nurse, after all.) But I had been having trouble with a sort of overtight tendon in my left heel, and that aggravated the left knee somehow. The simple version is that I may have popped or torn the ligament in the back of my knee. I was just walking along, getting ready to take a batch of books to the PO when...pow. And ow.

So I slapped an ACE bandage on it, with Mike's help, and I have made an appointment with the doc for tomorrow--so I will see him sometime in between taking the oldest dog to get his teeth cleaned, plus our two cars (one at a time) for a checkup. (Can you tell we got our income tax refund?)

Anyway, Mike came home from school in a much better mood and is redeeming himself by trying to help take care of me. Right now he is teaching me how to play "Star", which is some mutant form of Chinese Checkers he and the girlies made up. Caro is making dinner and pretty soon I will give it all up to go see if there is anything good on TV.
