Physical therapy appointment

The physical therapist I saw at the sports medicine clinic this morning did some manipulation/assessment on my knee. Tentative conclusion: a sprain to the MCL (medial collateral ligament) -- that's the ligament on the left side (inside) of the right knee. She gave me an ultrasound treatment and did some massage (ouch) and I was given some exercises. I'll see her again in a week. Can try alternating heat/cold, applying arnica topically, resuming karate, cautiously, taking care to avoid movements that twist the knee in a way that cause pain. Which might be, um, all of them when I'm kicking. It may take quite awhile before it feels better. Ligaments tend to heal rather slowly. But we'll see.

Sleepy

Have been coping with a puzzling amount of insomnia lately. This is SO not my usual problem.
