OMG, the pain. As part of getting ready for Mom & Steven's arrival, Max was steam cleaning the basement carpet to try and clean the cat pee. I jumped over the wet place into the sauna room so I could scrub the tile part of the pee spot. Unbeknownst to me, the tile in the sauna room was also wet, and I went down hard on my left knee. It hurt so incredibly much. Liberal and quick application of ice kept it from swelling too badly.
Fortunately, Max was still around for another day, so he could return the steam cleaner. Unfortunately, he had to leave for a week, only to return after Mom was already here, so the rest of the cleaning was up to me. I had most of it done, thank goodness, but there was still a significant amount left to do. I was able to do a lot of it, but I had trouble with anything that required supporting myself on a bended left knee. Stairs were quite difficult, unless I took them one at a time and pulled myself along with the railing, which meant that carrying stuff up stairs was near impossible. Luckily, I have a very good helper in Emma. She was a trooper, doing all sorts of stuff I couldn't do. So, we got it done. Max ended up coming home a day early, so he had a few hours to help with the last minute stuff before Mom got here.
It still hurts.
