How ya gonna clap?

This past week has been a blur. Literally. Like right now.

Well, not so much a blur, but hard to focus. Hard to focus my eyes, my brain, my hands.

This past Saturday night while celebrating a friends birthday, I busted my left knee open. No, I wasn’t wasted. Yes, there was a little bit of rambunctiousness. Regardless, here’s the quick deal on the left knee: laceration, cut/scraped ligament, infection, and three stitches. I’ve pretty much been laid up all week, and large amounts of praise are due for the girlfriend.

After signs of infection grew, I went to see my regular doctor yesterday. I got a shot in each butt cheek, upped meds, and a referral to a orthopedist (which was this morning).

So, x-rays are clear, and while the ligament is hurt, there is nothing major. He said the infection was back down, and looking good. I have a follow-up next week. He said there’d likely be physical therapy as I still am unable to bend my knee. One week later.

Note that my knee wasn’t that red, its mostly due to lighting/macbook camera.

Current meds and all but one of the shots I have gotten so far (don’t know what I got in the E.R.):

• Lincocin Inject 300mg (inject)
• Rocephin 500mg (inject)
• Xylocaine (inject)
• Metronidazole 500mg, 2x daily
• Augmentin (amoxicillin) 875mg, 2x daily
• Vicodin ES, 750mg, as needed

So, quick math kids, that’s 2750mg of antibiotic pills per day.

My butt hurts from those shots yesterday. I want/need a “How Ya Gonna Clap?” coozie. The cool kids know what I’m talkin about.
Looks like if I can, the St. Anthony Ramblers will be down one Security Duck™, and up one Lame Duck™.
