Day 77
Last night while getting ready for bed, I
wrenched my knee. Not fun, pain most of
the night. I wondered how I was going to
climb the five stories to my classroom this morning and also make the trip to
Beijing on Thursday and climb the Great Wall on Friday. I got some pain meds and did some ice and
asked David for a blessing this morning.
I was able to climb the stairs without an unimaginable amount of pain
and as I used it during the day and kept up the pain killer, it has felt better
today. I just hope I didn’t do anything
really bad to it. The arthritis in that
knee has been bothering me more here in Ji’nan with all the extra walking, but
this is 100 times worse than just arthritis.
Classes went well today for me and also for
David. The sophomore class was this
afternoon. Some of the students are
starting to “pair up”. There is Chinese
law that High School students are forbidden to get boyfriends and
girlfriends. So now that they are in
college, it is legal for them to start having that kind of relationship. There are two couples so far in this
class. They have gotten to know each other
for a year now, and some of them like each other more than they did. There is also a law that guys can’t get
married before they are 22. I learned that
in class today. Interesting…
We leave for Beijing tomorrow
afternoon. We are taking the bullet
train to get there. It will take about
two hours to get there. We are interested
to find out what that will be like.
