Finally a good night's sleep!

[kevyn]

Last night, the pain in my knee kept waking me up, as it has been doing every night for weeks now. So I finally broke down and took my mother's advice, and put on the leg brace I had stuffed away in my closet. It keeps my knee from bending, and pads my knee from contact.

OMG, it worked! I slept through the night after putting it on! My knee pain is substantially reduced, and though it's still swollen and hard to bend, it's DEFINITELY better. Yeah!

I saw a doctor down in Mt. Vernon a week ago Saturday, but he was mostly just confirming for DSHS that I couldn't work. He didn't recommend any treatment.

the length of this attack has been unusually long. I thought it was gout -- and it may have started off that way -- but what happened over the past couple of weeks makes me wonder.

Today's the first day in weeks that I'm actually feeling good enough to get some things done.
