what

[serinde]

I was in meetings all day (and not having a joyous day to begin with). Just got back from last one, to find that my cellphone had voicemail from my doctor, who has just gotten my knee X-rays. Quoth he, there is a degenerative bone spur (?) in my knee, which there is not a lot they can do anything about, but he'll set up an appointment with a specialist with me to answer any questions.

I am not coping with this in a manner consonant with my usual poise and capability.
