OW!

Went to the doctor to have my dressing changed; knee was so swollen that I couldn't bend it. I can't straighten it either so it was very hard to walk. I was using a crutch walking around the house. To help with the swelling, pain and the inability to bend the doctor drained a bunch of blood from the knee. OW! It feels better now, but I'm still taking the max. amount of pain pills in the min. time frame. I take the pills and off to sleep I go for awhile, then I'm awake and the pain starts and I wait out the time until it's time to take the pills again. This isn't exactly fun. My knee is also really, really bruised. Hoping things are healed enough for me to go to work on Tuesday.
