I woke up on Tuesday morning with a bruise-like mark on my left knee. I thought it was a bruise; however, as the day went on, it got bigger and more red. I started not being able to bend my leg or walk very well. Last night I wrapped it up in an ace bandage and iced it up. This morning, it seemed like it was more swollen and even more red than the day before. It is more painful too. I thought it might be a spider -- heaven forbid there was a hobo spider in my bed, I would absolutely die. So I went to the doctor a little while ago; he said it was infected for sure, but he wasn't sure if it was a spider bite or not because he couldn't see any bite marks (ahhh!!!). I got a shot in my buttocks (ouchy) and then I got an antibiotic prescription. My knee and butt hurt, I'm tired, and I start teaching high school tomorrow. What's the deal?
