Michigan Avenue Immediate Care are my favourite place I wish I didn't have to visit. Since the last time I was here they have installed free wifi for patients, and they offer free snacks (oranges, granola bars, etc) at the intake desk.

Leg still hurts this morning, but at least it's no worse. Other bruises are making themselves known. My doctor is going to look at me ( wearing loose pjs under my jeans, for modesty's sake) and lol his ass off. I wouldn't blame him one bit.

Me to doc: can I put my pants back on?
Doc: let me wrap your knee and then you can pants it up!

I like this guy :D

Final diagnosis: Sprain of the MCL, I get an ace bandage, some PT stuff to do, and some vicodin. No fractures! I'm in a taxi on the way home.

I am home from the clinic! (for those of you reading on IJ and JF mirrors, I have a sprained/possibly torn MCL. No breaks!)

I'm to ice and elevate today. I got a prescription for vicodin and didn't check it before I filled it -- holy crap he gave me 30 500-mg tablets. So I'm taking half-tablets, which should be more than enough.

You can tell I was a little bit high when I filled the prescription. I bought vicodin, Calcium tablets (I was almost out), a spare Ace bandage, a toothbrush, two Snickers bars, and a jar of jam. I don't even remember buying the jar of jam.

I can't recommend Michigan Avenue Immediate Care highly enough, for those in Chicago who don't have a doctor or need to see a doctor NOW but don't want to go to the ER. I was seen within half an hour, they charge on a sliding scale so you can generally get fairly cheap medical care if you don't have insurance, and they have really nice doctors.

I did have to do the Walk Of Shame in my pyjamas, but that's why I wore pyjamas instead of just jeans, so I didn't have to keep taking off my pants; I could just wear my pjs and roll up the cuff. Undressing and taking off my shoes are the hardest thing right now.

I am going to go sit down forever.
