On the first on the month I had my second, and as it turned out final, of the reassessment appointments that were what I got for winning my hearing against ACC. Which a little bit feels like not winning at all - but that is what it is.
On the walk in my knee was buckling something atrocious and making walking fairly awkward, so I caved and stopped in at a pharmacy and paid probably a little too much to the Antidote empire to get a 3M knee support bandage.
The bandage made an impressive improvement, apart from rubbing the skin on my knee cap until it was hyper sensitive it seems to just be an amazing solution, until the Sunday when I noticed that my foot was a bit achy in my slipper and, on taking off said slipper, discovered such edema in that foot that I barely had visible toes at all and the foot was an unmoving lump. Not ideal.
So since then I have been rationing the use of the knee support, as it helps the knee so much but also seems to anger my leg beneath after a few hours, and sometimes even faster.
And mostly I seemed to be slowly recovering. Things were getting better, knee wasn’t complaining so much.
Until yesterday.
I ran some errands in town, maybe overdid walking around. Things seemed to be doing okay. Then when I was at Exalted and taking my knee bandage off as I was going to be sitting on the couch for several hours I bend my knee too far and felt (and in the moment was sure I could even hear) the tearing of tissue beneath my kneecap. And just like that, a bunch of recovery undid itself…
Balls.
Otherwise. Have not been up to a lot. Having a quiet time mostly just at home and feeling not great because life is hobbling.
