Bum knee

So on Sunday our friend Tiny had us down to Provo to watch the Eagles lose to the Falcons. We actually went down to watch them win, but you know how it goes. Anyway, about a half hour before we go home I notice my knee is acting a little funny when I walked on it. I thought nothing of it because I had had this sort of feeling once or twice before and went on my merry way.

Enter Monday, which also happens to be my first day of work this week. My knee hurt. It felt weird, not exactly a pain but had a slight pain element to it. It almost felt like something tweaking or oscillating. On the inside of my left knee, more toward the back. Not a normal place for that. Anyway, at work I'm always on my feet. Always. For a 12 hour shift.

It was a party.

Luckily, I was on a one to one with a patient (basically stay at arms reach all the time so that they don't endanger themselves or others) so I got a couple of hours sitting while he napped. Luckily in the day room so I could watch ESPN.

Tuesday comes and my knee feels a little better, but not stupendous. I was able to go home a little early (after 9 hours) so I got to let my leg rest. Yay!

Today I finally buckled and bought a knee brace. It has been acting up a little more again, and hopefully this will help stabilize it or whatever to help the healing of whatever it might be. If it keeps up for a few more days I may get it checked out. Hopefully it doesn't though...I just signed up for my benefits and I don't think my insurance has kicked in yet. Sigh.

By the way I'm well on my way into starting grad school applications. I'm actually applying to Michigan (I think I heard Aleece's scream from here) but also Ohio State. I'm sure a universe somewhere will implode from this fact alone.
