The Butt Crack of Dawn

It's 8:00 and I've already been at work for an hour and twenty minutes, which means I got up at an ungodly hour this morning.

I woke up at 4:30 and went to the bathroom, but I realized it wasn't my bladder that woke me up. It was my knee. My muddy adventure the other day did more damage than I thought.

If it doesn't hurry up and heal, my long weekend camping will be a bit on the uncomfortable side. Bleh.

Plus I have softball-sized bruises on both my legs. That should be very attractive when I'm hitting on Navy guys on the 4th.

Ice first 24-48 hours of injury, heat after that. (20 minutes at a time)
Elevation of injured leg, less pressure on it the better.
Use of ibuprofen the best, reduces swelling. Tylenol type for pain.

Should be good as new for the weekend.

[trying to think of something positive to say]

uh... bruises turn pretty rainbow colors :-)

Nevermind. Heal soon.

They got Navy guys in Iowa?

Oh, and you're probably overstressing about it if you think a couple of bruises will slow down the Navy guys. A full body cast is but a minor challenge to those guys.
