Or so I'm trying to convince myself as my left eye weeps from behind my spectacles. Yes, I have pinkeye for the forty-leventh time since my older kid first brought it home from his daycare two years ago. I guess it's the viral world's revenge for my almost four decades of eyeballs so clean you could eat off them. Now every time I blink I pick up another goddam parasite. (I've even gotten two new pairs of contacts since the first visitation. And I don't wear the cheap kind, either.)
So the eye pain and redness just popped up about three hours ago. If I'd had an inkling this morning when I was having my hip and knee examined at the doctor's, I could've gotten her opinion on the infection too. So, yeah, on that note, I'm going in for an MRI on Wednesday to find out why a) when I go down the stairs or kneel, some invisible lunatic stabs my right knee with his or her invisible icepick, and b) when I stand up from a sitting position, whatever attaches my right thigh to my right hip decides not to support me without a massive fight lasting about one minute.
Later.

sounds like you and i might have the same right knee. i had an MRI this summer that showed some problems like arthritis and fluid polyps (sp?), but nothing i could do anything about. arggghhh. i have found out it helps to wear really flat shoes and not go down steps. i can go up, but not down. :D
I'm sorry to hear about the problems you're having with your eye and knee. I hope your eye clears quickly and the MRI of your knee is negative. :)
Ack. You've definitely had more than your share.
That's it! No more.
Get well.
Thanks for the good thoughts, friends. Eye is somewhat better, leg joints somewhat functional.
i started taking liquid glucosomine chondroitin about 6 weeks ago and see an improvement. could be the flat shoes i started at the same time, but i'm pulling for the glucosomine.
