Mini Pasta Party
I miss my roommate!! My houseguests Gina (my 3 year college roommate) and her bf David (who says he never takes up too much of the bed) cooked me a fabulous pasta dinner tonight which we topped off with Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. I love having someone to talk to at the end of the day (even though the windows were open and I could hear them coming home late last night and one of them suggesting they crawl into bed with me!) and it makes me miss her even more (plus they just cooked for me). I really liked living with her-do you think the two of them want to move in with me? I am excited to be mostly done with my finals so I can finally spend some time with them. They have been amusing themselves by sight-seeing and hanging out with their other friends in town.
Today I accosted two of my doctor classmates, pointed to where my knee hurt on the outside, and said, “Is this a bone?” The infectious disease doctor and pediatrician hopeful (he hasn’t specialized yet) think I have a soft tissue injury b/c I am not in enough pain for anything worse. I’ll buy that-though I do think I might have an IT thing going on that they are just unfamiliar with. We had a guest professor today sitting in on my class who I happen to know is a sports doc. I really wanted to ask her if where my leg was bothering my looked like IT pain but I felt like that would be inappropriate-we haven’t ever talked before and I would basically just be trying to get free medical advice. I restrained myself. There is also a girl in school who I know ran in college and still runs a little. I want to ask her if this “spot” is IT pain-except I don’t usually talk to her either so that would also be taking advantage. So I didn’t talk to her -even though once I decided I can’t talk to her I suddenly started seeing her all over school.
I was going to swim but since I went to bed at midnight I decided to sleep in. I had to be at work at 8. Then I came home and had people cooking for me so I just changed out of my work clothes (just like my mom and dad do) and got ready for dinner. I really feel like part of a little family! Since I didn’t exercise I will write about David and Gina. He ran about 2 miles. In the dark. In the rain. He is hard core. Gina had IT pain from running this summer so she chatted knee pain with me.

this dude i sit near at work started back up running again a couple weeks ago....one day last week he called up 8-10 people he used to run with to see if they knew what his newfound lower leg pain might be. hehe. it was funny because he hadn't talked to any of them for yrs but he was dying to know what might be wrong w/his legs. i don't even know if half of them remember who he was, but he was so desperate for a diagnosis. well i guess you had to be there but it was funny.

I hope the random IT band type of pain goes away. That is too funny, I am always asking my friend's doctor husband about random aches and pains. But at this point he kind of expects it.
Dinner and the visit with your friends sounds like fun! Matt and I need to come visit you too.

I think this site is great for figuring out things about injuries.
