Both of my knees (and both ankles) click all the time. T'aint serious nor arthritis.
I hope so.
The knees are always the second thing to go.
The appointment was canceled -- it is Independence Day today, dammit. I almost forgot that yesterday!
But my dad, who's a doc himself (oncologist), inspected my knees. He is sure it's bursitis. Didn't I suspect it, too, in my first post? However, we will definitely have an X-RAY done in a few days. He was annoyed with me last night for making such a big issue out of it (heck, it IS a big issue for me, Dad), but today, he sat me and explained all the possible causes --dismissing them one by one. Hmph.
And I wasn't distracted today, at least, so it is a good thing.
My weight loss program has been put on hold, now. It stinks I can't exercise. So, I guess I will have to really tame my eating habits (Naw, not thinking diets; don't worry.)
The more interested I become in neurobiology, worse gets my fear of losing my mind someday.

What's the first? Heart?
I forget....
Hiya, Spidergal. Feeling better?
Spidergal--
Please give your father my sympathy. Tell him, "I'm glad I'm not young any more."
As for your weight loss program, can you concentrate on exercising the upper body until the test results are in?
Yes, feeling better. But I have to start going to college from tomorrow -- it would be a big challenge. Will have to take a lot of precautions, ya know.
Yeah, I will be concentrating on exercising the anterior body parts.
"Sick baby" is my new nickname among family members.
When you suffer, YOU are the only one who understands yourself.
