What a Week

Had a pretty rough week at work. My cook was out 2 days this week-Wednesday and Friday, so I had to pick up the slack. Wednesday his mother had to have angioplasty done, she had a 35% chance of making it through the procedure. I finally called him around 4PM to see how she was, she made it (thank goodness). I knew that he was going to be a wreck if she didn't. Him not being there wasn't what made it rough, it was the fact that I was short 3 other people during lunch. I ran myself into the ground trying to keep everything going. I guess that all that running around ended up hurting me worse than normal. My left knee had started to give out, so by Thursday it had swollen to twice it's normal size.

Thursday around 2:30 it started to hurt really bad and there was nothing I could do to keep going. I took off to get a few knee braces just to keep it isolated enough to start healing. It worked at least enough to keep going.

Friday, braced up and ready to rock, I managed to make it until around 3PM at work and then I had to take off to see a doctor. He looked at it and said that I had done the right thing to brace it and told me to take some Ibuprofen to keep the swelling down. I wound up passing out around 5PM last night and just woke up around an hour ago.

As for my plans for my birthday--who knows? The woman that I met last week hasn't returned my calls, even after she said that she wanted to go out with me for the weekend. Oh well, I'm not going to sweat it. I might run up to Houston after I go get my tax refund check. That should be all for now everyone.

Peace!
