Decided with the vaguely more increased grinding sensation in my injured right knee that at least a call into the doctor was in order this morning. I was seen at 1115.
Dr. G put my knee through the paces and it hurt! Big shock, LOL. Compared it to my good knee, determined it's likely just a knee bone contusion. It'll take 2-4 weeks for it to completely heal, and I'm to Rest, Ice the area, Compression with an elastic Ace bandage, and Elevate it (RICE, get it?;)) for the next several days to see if it gets any better. If things don't really improve, I'm to call back and he'll order x-rays to check for more damage. No yoga for at least this week, of course, which I'm fine with--I can't imagine trying to do Vinyasa yoga on this gnarly knee right now--the poses are quite knee labor intensive for that practice, so...no...Oh wells. I'll do fine without it for a week.
Had the nurse show me how to properly wrap my knee up, as I wanted to make sure I was doing it right; last night's wrap job was based on a text tutorial online, so...yeah... ;) Turns out I was mostly doing things correctly! Yay!! :)
Gained a bit of weight, which is not entirely surprising given the amount of junk food I've been ingesting lately. :/ I'm at about 133 1/2 pounds. :( Time to start dialing back/eliminating the crap...No more comfort eating for this girl! I've lost it before, I can lose it again...
Sigh. As Dr. G said, Ra's evasive techniques to avoid medication have now cost both J and myself money for injuries related to attempting to medicate him. Which made me laugh because the alternative was to get pissed or cry and I was not having that today. ;) He's anxiously awaiting the next stories in our saga with Ra. ;) Hopefully bodily injuries won't be among them!
