Internet: I have failed you.

Internet: I have failed you.

I was supposed to do 29 pushups. I did zero, adn am not going to do any for the next few weeks, at least.

Why?

I dislocated my knee. This is the third time in 10 years. This time was the best way it could possibly have gone:
-- Dianne is amazing. She called 911 immediately when she saw it.
-- Within 2 minutes, it was back in the socket, thanks to falling correctly and the EMTs the second time, who told me how to get it back into socket.
-- EMTs showed up within 5 minutes. They were firemen, and amazing.
-- Arlington's ER has an Express lane - ! We were out in 2 hours.

The pain is perfectly manageable, but I'll be off my feet for a few days. As I am between contracts at the moment, this is about the best time for it to happen - though I do need to cancel a client meeting tomorrow. I probably won't get that contract.

Anyway, if you have to dislocate your knee:
1. Do it within shouting distance of your wife.
2. Do it in a rich area. Holy crap.

So, no more pushups.
