May would appear to be medical checkup month. Just had an eye checkup - my contacts are being discontinued and I need a new prescription. Got the health checks done at the same time - it is a little disorienting to wander around with pupils fully dilated. It was dull and overcast and I still needed to wear dark glasses. Typical poser behavior. Later this month I have medical checkup and then dental. To follow the theme I even have to get work done on my car as well.

I note this all because something else happened on the medical front today. Or rather something didn't happen. I have managed to get through a whole day without wincing in pain from my right knee every time I stood up or climbed steps. It seems forever since the first injury. Then even after it healed, the resulting inflamation from compensating for the first injury. I have been doing a bunch of exercises to strengthen specific muscles (mainly quads) to reduce the strain and therefore reduce the inflamation. It appears to be working - oh the relief. Now all I have to do is avoid injuring it again.
