talked to Carmen

[redbird]

I had my quarterly appointment with Carmen so she can continue to prescribe the Ritalin. I spent part of the time talking about Mom's death, including how the trip had affected me physically, and specifically that my joints hurt much less than I expected given the amount of walking.

A bit later, the three of us went for a walk, and my knees started to hurt a little almost immediately, despite the precautionary naproxen. At that point, I realized that I walked a lot almost every day of the trip, but almost all of it was basically flat, long hospital and airport corridors.
