redbird: closeup of me drinking tea, in a friend's kitchen (Default)

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.

The bits of numbness in the finger are probably a peripheral nerve; to go with [personal profile] 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.)
