PARADISE LOST

PARADISE FOUND

I am an absolute klutz!

Getting ready for work, step out of the shower and my right knee decides to go a different direction than normal. I'll leave it as "very painful". Could barely stand on it Packed the ol' patella up in ice and used my cane for the few times I tried to walk around the house. This is the same knee I injured a couple of years back, loading luggage into ONE-NINE. I have to wear a knee-brace because of that, just not when I am bathing. Spent most of the night with it elevated. Of course, when I called off, Kimo (#22) was frustrated.

ONE - he was going to have to cover the "overnight" hours.
TWO - They were extremely busy. That means I probably lost some significant money.

Its been about 12 hours since I twisted the knee and the swelling is almost gone, but not the tenderness. I should be able to do my shift tonight.

I hope what I have presented today makes up for not having any "talk story" about the cab-biz.

Check back tomorrow to find out how this gimpy ol' fart survived another shift.
