His knee has been hurting pretty consistently since he went back, swelling and aching, but the swelling tends to go down once he gets home and ices the knee. This week, though, although he says the area of pain is smaller, the intensity has been higher.
This morning he called and said, "My knee is hurting through a hydrocodone; I'm leaving work and going to the doctor." He has an appointment for 11:30 tomorrow; your Good Thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
