My leg
Well, it's better than it was, but it still hurts all the time--a throbbing pain.
I can do stuff like go up the stairs without extra pain, though. I can stand on one leg without intense pain. That part's much better. But today I took T to a birthday party in Queens (lazer tag!) and had to climb up and down a lot of subway stairs and it's just killing me now.
I am taking 1600 mgs of Motrin a day, and applying heat as directed. But I don't feel like I'm improving every day, I feel like I've hit a plateau in terms of pain.
I'm seeing the Dr for follow-up on Tues afternoon so I guess I'll find out more then.
A disturbing thing happened today--P was walking on our block when a guy walking by randomly punched him in the head and told him to go
home. And when P, in shock, responded "But I live here," the guy punched him again, in the nose, and then just walked off. Nobody saw it, but a neighbor came out immediately afterward and saw P bleeding all over the snow and gave him ice and paper towels.
P is a super-gentle guy and has probably never hit anyone in anger in his life, so he was totally dazed and actually continued on to the supermarket, on the grounds that he would have just had to go out again anyway.
I'm so mad and wish I had been there so I could have punched the guy in return (I'm obviously the aggressive one in the relationship ...), although that's probably just fantasy (it's much more likely I would have tried to kick him). I hope his punching hand really hurts him A LOT. As much as my leg and P's nose put together.
