And now the knee is 90% better, swelling is down (it was the size of a friggin volleyball 5 days ago, looks like a knee again today), I should be back on the bike by Tuesday.
At the same time I'm going crazy. I'm ready to jump. Talk me off the ledge.
If I hurt like that a couple of Stoli martinis, a trip to the city and a Russian girl to massage my "knee" until it felt better would be on my agenda. I wouldnt be lookn to jump outta any windows.
With this blizzard we're hav'n now, taking the train from Hariman into Manhattan and the subway to Brighton Beach would be a safer bet than trying to drive in on your own. I wouldn't trust a driver on a night like this unless he's really good. Stay over in the city and enjoy your massage.
