Luna’s back from her vacation and I was excited to hear about it. I get on the table and she unsnaps my pants to take a look at my knee. As she’s unsnapping, I excitedly asked how paradise was (she went to Hawaii). Before she answered, she told me that we need to talk about my knee because it was STILL swollen. Luba had been gone for two weeks so for her to comment about it still being swollen was a bit disconcerting. Well, it STILL hurts so why wouldn’t it STILL be swollen?
As Luba worked on my knee, I told her about my skin breaking down because of the tape and going tapeless after having the “cradling” effect of tape for so long. After all the knee talk, I got to hear all about snorkeling with manta rays, paddle-boating with sea turtles, surfing lessons, and binge-watching entire seasons of shows. I asked about the weather in Hawaii but I know I wouldn’t be okay with a constant 84 degrees.
Luba set me up with ice and stim. As she walked away, I thought about the fact that I would normally be uncomfortable with ice because I am ALWAYS cold now that the weather here is getting colder. I guess that proves further that my knee STILL hurts. I don’t like this because I’m having difficulty remembering it NOT hurting. When my time for stim. was up, Luba snapped my pants back up because I was going tapeless… again.
