So, tell me again why I’m disintegrating? Every joint in my body began aching about a week or so ago. This afternoon, my left knee, which has been doing pretty well, considering the arthritis, decided it doesn’t want to bend without hurting when I apply body weight to it (i.e, at the moment, I get to walk around like Lurch). When I’m sitting down, it bends fine, although I feel a crunching feeling if I lay my fingers along the left side.

I know it’s time to schedule my orthopedic follow-up, but is this really the way to remind me?
