Left ankle: hugely swollen, yet only somwhat painful.
Right knee: slightly swollen and puffy, yet incredibly tender, unstable, and difficult to use.
Is the difference due to the AGE of the injury? The left ankle was horribly twisted 50 years ago and has continued to hurt periodically over the past 5 decades.
Right knee eroded due to arthritis, only painful for the past decade, tho increasingly.
FWIW, I get the usual advice from every MD: RICE. Take painkillers.
@RustyBertrand I am suggesting that this stance makes little sense to me, or for the benefit of the world. I agree that we should construct a system under which we are not faced with such a choice, but such a system is not present under many circumstances. What to do?
I don't know if this is known outside of academic circles, but most universities are desperate for enrollments these days. Over the past 10ish years, unis changed tactics from attracting students with perks (some of them admittedly dumb) to slashing everything in sight--support staff, new faculty, majors, equipment, software, facilities, retirement plans, landscaping, even PR and marketing. Radical top-down decisions like "Who cares about foreign languages?" made whole divisions disappear. 1/
@carrideen I disagree. Administrators are running their universities exactly "like a business." This includes top management taking as much as they can steal and suffering no adverse consequences for doing so.
US Law requires some things, and without an act of Congress changing the law, the law stands.
"Title 22 USC Ch. 93
§8602. Statement of policy
It is the policy of the United States...
(2) To help the Government of Israel preserve its qualitative military edge amid rapid and uncertain regional political transformation."
I will not miss Mitch #McConnell as leader. For reasons why, read It's even Worse Than It Looks, and Google Ornstein and McConnell to see us interact. But keep in mind that we will now see Thune, Cornyn and Barrasso vie to replace him-- all by moving further right. Not good.
