Amusingly Ironic

***

Snookums and I are broke as a joke and I don't mean
monetarily. All day I've been nursing my knee (which has
been bothering me for weeks), but to make matters worse I
think the urinary tract infection I've been ignoring for
almost two weeks has progressed into a kidney infection (I
used to get those all the time. So often in fact I was on
prophylactic antibiotics to prevent them). I was making
dinner when all of a sudden a stabbing pain shot through
the right side of my back and it's been with me ever
since. I've been in pain for so long, I'm starting to
forget what it feels like to be pain-free. If I weren't
such a strong-willed person I think all this would have
broken my spirit a long time ago.

As for Snookums, he's been in pain the past couple of
weeks, but hasn't mentioned anything about it. His left
wrist has been bothering him. I noticed yesterday that
he's been rotating it a lot, which is a sure sign that
something is wrong with it. So, I sent him to the
emergency room. Turns out he's got De Quervain's Disease.
Don't be alarmed. That's fancy-talk for tendonitis in the
wrist. Turns out his crappy backhand not only caused me to
hurt my knee, but he messed up his wrist, too! I though
that was amusingly ironic. Tennis is definitely not our
sport.

So, unlike most young couples that go out on Friday
nights, we're going to take our anti-inflammatory meds,
prop ourselves up in bed and put on our ice and heating
pads. We're in our 20's and 30's. I didn't foresee us
spending our evenings this way until we were at least in
our 60's and 70's. Let our fun-filled Friday night begin!
Ciao.
