Pain Update

After 24 hours, here's what still hurts...

1) The small bruise on my chin.
2) My deltoid muscles (from the landing, I guess).
3) My biceps (from the landing, I guess).
4) I have a few tiny bruises and scratches on my left leg.
5) My right knee.

Here's the update on the knee: Against doctor's orders, I did a bit of walking today, to test the waters. Putting pressure on it does not hurt, but bending it sure does (I guess due to the placement of the gash). Also, my kneecap keeps popping and I feel like it keeps coming out of socket when I walk, causing me to almost fall over as it buckles (but yet it doesn't hurt when that happens). I unwrapped the Ace bandage and adjusted the gauze bandage (ewww... the blood that seeped through...) and then re-wrapped it and now I'm better. The tighter bandage really helps with the walking.

I know, I know. I'm not supposed to walk. In fact, I've been having people on my case about it. Right now, I am forced to sit down because my Mom and the Sailor won't let me leave my bedroom. Thank God my computer is in here. Andy told me that he's not going to lecture me this time because he knows that I'm too hard-headed for my good and he knows that I'll just ignore his advice. My family and the Sailor keep lecturing me, so ignoring them makes them do it more. I have to humor them I guess.

I hate staying still. I hate relaxing. I hate not moving.

I am going to go out of my mind.

Merry Christmas Eve!
