Happy 2010, all. I hope you’re either recovering from last night’s Champagne fest or enjoying a day off from the daily grind.

I’m still off work and in Massachusetts visiting family. I’m spending the day shopping with my mother (now that’s what I call vacation) then watching my cousin’s band play at a local bar. Believe it or not, this will be one of my more active days: Walking around the mall is a big deal for el broken knees.

Will they swell? Will they turn an apple shade and become burning hot? How long will I be able to window shop—for two stores, three? And will I feel a dull ache or just shooting pain?

More importantly, will my left knee—the one that’s gotten PRP twice—last longer and feel better than the right? (Oh, please please please puhlease!) I’ll let you all know how they manage.

Aside from that, I’m taking the day off from reading research and posting a health-related article today. Consider this my reminder to you that some days you just need to focus on numero uno. (I’m not sure what’s with all of the Spanish. I’m French at heart. C’est la vie.)

Lemme know, what are your first plans for 2010?
