Shorts day

I started out the day wearing shorts as I had a doctors appointment for my knee this afternoon. I was surprised when I was comfortable all day. We went early and had lunch in Longview and did some shopping. We had time to kill, so we went and wandered around the new Walmart. It looks like it is arranged backwards to the one in Chehalis and seems a little smaller. We didn't see anything we couldn't live without, so it was off to Home Depot to window shop a little. It was finally time for my appointment so we headed over there. They were running a half hour behind so I picked out a magazine and got comfortable. When I got in to see the doctor and told him about the swelling and it always being warmer, he told me they did a study and the temperature difference is normal. After he checked the swelling we discussed it and he drew off the excess fluid and injected a small amount of cortisone to try and keep it from coming back. After my appointment we went to Freddie's for a dinner of their excellent halibut fish and chips. I took a picture of my knee to post here, but it looked kind of scary when I looked at it on the monitor. So there will be no picture today.
