charley horse

was wrenched from sleep with a horrible charley horse behind/below my right knee. tried to walk it off but couldn't stand to stand on it. 

Went back to sleep only to dream of long auto rides (Me, Rex, and Tracy driving to West Virginia to visit Ellie) stopping to gather firewood, having to turn around on the edge of a cliff (a steep hillside), a driveway with stones across the end that Rex moved so he could turn, and I said maybe they were there because the owner didn't want the driveway used as a turnaround.

Somehow ended at a doctor's (possibly owner of the turnaround driveway?) and she took care of Tracy, then me. Don't remember what my first complaint was, but I finally got around to tell her about the charley horse. Told her to feel the muscle, how hard it still was. She tried some this and that and nothing was helping. She finally resorted to cortisone shots, multiple shots into the sides if the stiff muscle. It never did fully relax, but got better to the point where I could at least walk more easily on it.

still sore and achy; still stiff. Not getting better at all, except that I can, after a fashion, walk on it.
