& the bruises have come in

& my knee throbs. Last night I drank copious amounts of alcohol, I came home at a sane hour, I felt good - my knee, she had other ideas. The throbbing deep pain coupled with the top level sharper pain where the skin is gone & the nerves are raw. About a 6/10 which is more than the injuries gotten at Baitcon ever hit. At 0230 with anti-inflammitories in my system, arnica on the bruised area, lying back w/ leg elevated & no relief. I ended up finding an ice pack (oh sweet blessed cervical ice pack in my freezer (I was literally bashing a bag of edemame to break it up enough to use as an ice pack when I saw it). 20 minutes later the throbbing was still present but the sharper pains had decreased a bit 4/10 pain overall. I thought I would update the pics since the bruises have arrived & they make it look much closer to what it feels like.
