Sorry no music tonight. Fell on my knee today and it is the size of a grapefruit!! Really hurts and can't hardly move it, hope it is not busted up or worse.

I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.

That was my next question.....how much Spanish are you learning while you wait??...might be a good time to do that!!....You about have to have a heart attack or quit breathing to get to the head of the line...

Have not overheard any spanish lingo yet. Lots of folks with face masks though. If I get outta here with a healthy knee I will probably have swine flu

Swelling is down very little, now it looks like a black and blue grapefruit. Still pretty sore but I did go to work at the gunshop today, might not have been a great idea but I did pretty good. limping and can't really bend or squat but held up all day. Gonna take a day or two off the real job cause I have lots of sick time saved up, should be OK in a few days..........   Gordon at the gun shop offered to drain it with his Benchmade folder but I declined.    Grin

I have an idea Brian....if you whack your BIG toe on your good leg with a 3lb sledge hammer, you'll forget ALL about the bad knee.....for a few minutes at least!!..... cooldude.. Cheesy... Grin

And for those wondering, I am NOT a Dr......but I stayed at a Holiday Inn a few months ago!!..... cooldude

Knees can take a while (I know this from experience). Take care and recover quickly!

Brian, I don't know about you but my knee took awhile.  I fell last summer and it swelled up very bad.  In my case the swelling affected the circulation to my lower leg and it swelled also and built up so much pressure that the leg broke out in a rash and I had to wear compression socks.  That won't happen at your age but keep an eye on it.

Mine's fine now for an 81 year old knee.
