I am back from the doctor, and aside from an annoying long wait in the waiting room (from which I can report, probably to nobody's surprise, that Pat Murphy is a good writer), all is well. The knee is not infected: this is just a normal, though annoying, bruise under the skin. I have a prescription for an anti-inflammatory that I may or may not fill; I wanted to come right home and have some tea, so I will be more assiduous with the OTC ones for the rest of today and tonight, and see in the morning. Any anti-inflammatory will, the doctor said, speed the healing a little and provide some pain relief.

cattitude's advice on stretches, Dr. Kump has advised me not to carry anything so it puts weight on my left forearm.
My blood pressure is a fine, reassuring 110/80.
Oh, and she wants me to have a mammogram, and wrote the Rx for that. I asked her for a manual breast exam, and that came up normal. (She also wants me to schedule a physical, on the grounds of it having been a while. I left without making an appointment; I will do that when I have my PDA to hand.)
