hypochondriac

I took a couple of ibuprofen yesterday and that helped. By the end of the day I was walking normally without a cane. It still looks real bad, swollen and with ugly looking bruising and my challenge now is to get through 5 hours of mowing lawns and to somehow convince my step son to come and help me. I am a bit of a hypochondriac generally but everyone has been saying that I should go to the emergency room or at least see a doctor. I don't want to of course because in this case I think that it will repair itself in its own good time.
