* The knee is better but not Better this morning. Considerably less difficulty and pain with getting out of bed. I can feel a slightly inflamed "cord" in the back of the knee so maybe I do have some tendons involved. Ice helps. I'm still not sure the Voltaren will help but I presume I am tolerating it okay so I will continue it. Doing the range-of-motion exercises may have helped, too, so I will continue those.
* Maybe I take one more day mostly off - I could sit in the recliner and read because elevating the knee slightly seems to help - and then if I'm as much better tomorrow from today as I was today from yesterday, I could go over and work on research.
*It cheers me up though that I am even a little better this morning; that tells me I didn't damage anything badly enough that I will require surgery or even an MRI. If it's really better in a couple days I'll just message my doctor and tell her unless there's something else she needs to see me for, I'll just cancel the appointment for the 31st.
* I had the first mask-related dream that I can remember - there was something like a flea market that was nominally "indoors" (in a big, high-ceilinged building, like a bus garage or something) and I wanted to go in, but couldn't find my mask in my purse or pocket and I felt considerable panic about it.
* Been mostly working on the big crocheted blanket because that's what is close at hand and it's what is easy. I admit these past few days between the pain and (more) the worry over the pain, I haven't felt like working on it much. Hopefully things are better, now, at least I am less worried about "did I absolutely shred one of the ligaments in there and will need surgery during a freaking global pandemic" but I still am not extremely mobile...
