Even as I wrote those words, I kept wanting to say, "knock on wood" because I thought this knee was getting better about three times before. After each, it had a nasty relapse. Yesterday, I went to the orthopedist whose name was Dr. Doctor which I find funny and he leaned on my knee in an effort to pop something back in in case it was misaligned. This hurt very much. But, I guess it worked because I can stand up now. I still have some pain but nothing like before. In fact, if I'm really careful and sit very well which is hard in my old chair because it's broken there is no pain in my knee whatsoever. I know this is not the end of this process although I wish it was. Tomorrow, I start physical therapy to try to get my knee back to normal. Well, normal for it which is not normal for everyone else because I have cerebral palsy. But, I'm kind of enthused about the whole process. I might actually be able to go to my college reunion picnic and, more importantly to me, my honorary niece's dance recital.

But just when everything health wise was looking up, other things in my life started to go wrong. Of course! One, a website I work for accused me of plagiarizing which I've never done and never would do. Two, one of my assistants needed the rest of the week off as she's being evicted. Three, another one of my assistants possibly has pneumonia. Four, the company that pays my assistants mistakenly, they say, confused one person's time sheet with another person's and paid one person twice and the other person not at all. Now, they have to go in the first women's account and retrieve the second person's money. I'm having them send me copies of the timesheets in question to make sure this is what really happened because I have a suspicion that it is not due to the fact that the first person, who's very honest and I've never had a problem with, didn't tell me about it. I'm sure she would have if she had gotten a double paycheck. I think that maybe they are just claiming that that happened when what really happened was that they forgot to put in the second person's time sheet at all. We'll see what we see.

Today is also the day of finding lost things. I found my writing notebook, four missing library books, and an extra box of gloves that my assistants use to take care of me. I'm supposed to be getting a new shipment of gloves tomorrow, but I don't know as my supplies has not been that forthright in the past.

Why does it seem that when one thing works out, another or several others, goes awry? At least I'm glad that some of my assistants can cover the times when others need help.
