Up side to everything...
You know what's awesome about having felt like utter crap for a while, and not having been able to walk without substantial pain for close to a week? When it lets up, you feel like dancing!
My knees still aren't thrilled about stairs, or going from seated to standing, but they're acting like normal when I'm walking; I have my stride back (given how this fits into my body/self-image, this is surprisingly important). And I just got all my music set up on my Blackberry. I'm reveling in walking around the building, and I'm constantly finding myself dancing, from the time I was waiting at my first bus stop this morning.
