There’s an interesting thread on Twitter called A Brief History of Nobody Wants to Work Anymore. In summary, the thread contains newspaper article clippings from 1894 to 2022 stating that no one wants to work anymore. The more things change and all that.
I was tired all day. I took a nap at 6 PM, woke up, had dinner, and went back to bed. I don’t know if my aching knee is wearing me out or if it’s something else, but it felt good to get some sleep.
The swelling in my knee continues to decrease. I have close to full range of motion again, but standing up is painful, and I still take the stairs one at a time.

Dentist appointment take two. I’m having a filling replaced. As I sit down I remark that sitting and standing is a little difficult because I recently had knee surgery.
My dentist says, “You had knee surgery? Is there any metal in your knee?”
“Yeah, a pin,” I reply.
My dentist tells me that I can’t have the procedure done until they talk to my orthopedic surgeon. Apparently there’s a risk of infection and I may need to take an antibiotic. I give them the contact information for my doctor and they give me a prescription. They tell me not to get it filled until I hear from them. Once this is resolved I can reschedule my appointment. Fortunately I’m only 15 minutes away from the dentists’ office.
Back to work after a week off. It was quiet. We also started our new fiscal year. It’s the first time in years that I haven’t had to manage any year end tasks, which contributed to the quiet.
