Yep, that’s my leg. After an ultrasound to make sure I didn’t have a blood clot, they wrapped me in a knee immobilizer, called in a prescription for an anti-inflammatory , told me to follow up with my ortho and sent me on my way.
A little back story. I’ve already had two surgeries on this knee. There is basically no cartilage left between the bones. On a high note, I can predict when it will snow and rain.
I will be MIA for a bit. I’ll try to get to comments when I can.
Have a great week ahead!

A palette blended
Vibrant, nature’s artistry
Painted upon soil

My brain, like a frustrated light bulb
Is a filament, constantly in need of a current
To make it spark imagination, I flip a switch
Let it glow for hours, until at last, it burns out
Try to tap it, hoping for the light to return
For the spark to, once again, kindle my thoughts
Regeneration, as the cycle begins again

Embryonic thoughts, plague the best of me
Incipient beginnings, not where I wish to be
Maturity has abandoned me, in very many ways
Passing by the hours, watch them turning into days
Hoping new beginnings, will appear with early dawn
I sit and wait, and realize, I’m really just a pawn
Of merely growing older, in a world, that likes me not
Maybe I finally did grow up, perhaps I just forgot

Seems Jupiter hadn’t learned his lesson
Decided Venus was worth the bliss
Made his way toward her space
Got a smack in the face
Lost a moon, all he does now is hiss
Mother Earth watched it all and she’d had it
Remember, she had given Jupiter the boot
Once again, with a bang
He lost, to a gang
Of women, now isn’t that a hoot!
