Yes, it has been a heck of a week/weekend. Last Tuesday, I tore the meniscus in my right knee. I had done it about 5 years ago but I have to say this is about 100 times worse! I've been on anti-inflammatories and getting a bit better each day. Ragweed is extremely high and I've been having a time with my sinuses. Yesterday morning, while coughing, I pinched a nerve in my neck. I stayed at work until 2:00 (it took that long to clean off my desk after vacation) and went home to take a muscle relaxer. It seemed a little better last night but it's pretty stiff this morning. I used some warm compresses and hope I can at least get a few things done. I don't tolerate muscle relaxers very well-they pretty much knock me out. So, if it gets too bad, I'll go home and take one.
