Things learned in hospitals:

1) You can return your crutches two days late as long as a national holiday falls in between the due date and the time you turned them in. Or as long as they don't look at the due date.
2) If they tell you to come twice a week, and you skip for twelve days because you're sick and there are two public holidays between then and the next time you go in, they'll let you start coming in once a week after that.
3) If you can't straighten your knee, they'll put a pillowcase full of ice directly on your knee for fifteen minutes, then sandbags, then you'll miraculously be able to straighten your leg for the first time in weeks.
4) I got a 350 HKD refund for returning my crutches. Food! :)

My knee hasn't felt this loose in ages. Very nice. Of course, there was a bit of oh-my-ga-you're-trying-to-kill-me-aren't-you leading up to that.

Not much doing today, at least not till this evening. Going to go to the office and do some work, get some lunch, take a little nap.....
