A hint of good news

A third of my porch has been replaced. It's SO rotted that he's going to have to come back two more times and in theory is coming tomorrow to finish my bathroom. I'm not holding my breath.
I saw the sports med guy about my knee to see how the gel shots work AND to remind him that wasn't why I started seeing him. We just found that accidentally and it was the calf he was supposed to be treating. I could tell him more now. Walking in a straight, fast line at the airport my calf became so symptomatic you couldn't squeeze the calf. It was like a rock especially over the peroneal innervation area. On the other hand swimming, scuba and water aerobics did NOT trigger this pain and symptoms. He wants me to talk to the neurologist again but also thinks a lot of this might be relieved with stretching (I do think me no longer riding the stationary bike is contributing to it) so we're going to try stretch exercises and return in 6 weeks. I'm going to scan in the exercises he gave me and ask my brother what he thinks and if I should add any.
Chillicothe, however, was annoying because they're doing major road construction and then there was a breakdown. I couldn't get out so I went to eat and even then it was still hard.
Still no meds so I did get some OTC prilosec. I am in pain and getting annoyed.
What I Just Finished Reading:
The Tomb of Zeus - a 1920s mystery set in Crete, not bad but forgettable
The Ten Worst People in New York by Matthew Plass - This was an arc, it wasn't bad but the construction was choppy
What I am Currently Reading:
Another Fine Mess - a paranormal thing, it was an idea I've had for years and should have written: the monster hunters work at a funeral home, I like it so far. I dislike the title because all I can hear is Laurel and Hardy and expect a comedy (this is SO not)
Silent Evidence by Clea Koff, a new series, FBI/private forensic specialists who do missing persons cases. So far so good (it's a good palate cleanser from all those cozy mysteries I read)
Hormones, Hexes, & Exes by J.C. Blake magic and menopause and basically popcorn that needs way more worldbuilding.
What I Plan to Read Next: back to my popsugar book list
