My knee still shows bruising, coupled with a fairly good-sized knot on the side of it. Fully suspect a trip to an ortho specialist is in my future, but will deal with that when the time comes. Already can wear my jeans again, and that's what matters to me. And after the reduced swelling that has occurred in my left foot today, I suspect I'll be able to wear my regular shoes, starting perhaps as early as tomorrow.
Have been using Tylenol tablets tinged with a little codeine for sleeping the past few nights, but think I likely have taken the last one of those, since last night's pill didn't seem to provide much help. Besides that, I'm not a fan of taking any more meds than absolutely necessary.
Along with the improvement from the damage I did to myself two weeks ago, I am finally getting word that it'll probably only be a few more days before I get my boat back from Craig, ready to hit the water again. I know there first will be the matter of about 10 hours of break-in time, but with any luck, I hope to accomplish that in a couple of days. Plan to leave all my fishing gear at home during those two days, so I won't get distracted.
Barring the unforeseen, I have plans to join Wayne this coming Saturday for a trip to Pungo Ferry, where we will participate in the tournament the fellas with Boundary Bass Club have scheduled.
Had to take a rain check this past Saturday for the event at Bob's, 'cause I was in a bad way with my leg that day. As the doctor at Patient First, whom I saw on my second trip there last week, explained, I have a bad case of arthritis in my left ankle that was stirred into more action than usual by my accident. At least I now understand why my left foot often is puffy...even when not injured.
In any event, I'm looking forward to getting back to some degree of normal healthiness in coming days and be able to log some time on my rebuilt motor, too.
