I slipped and fell on my right side a couple weeks ago. Pretty much zero bruising except this one tiny spot and even that was faint.

Since then my front thigh has been sore, tight, and not really making any progress. My knee feels sore and a little unstable. I don't really have any impairment of range of motion though.

I don't understand how much damage could have occurred since I just slipped on the ground, not from any large height.

I slipped and fell on my right side. I only had a small visible bruise on my upper thigh by my waist.

However, it seems it affected my whole leg. My upper thigh is tight and it feels like if you exercised and overstretched it. My knee is tight also, doesn't seem smooth when I move it, and has been popping/cracking alot more.

I have full range of motion, but everything still feels sore. I really wanted to avoid going to the doctor but I might have no choice.

I used to love it, but ehh. I feel like The Force Awakens kind of reversed any progress RotJ accomplished.

What was the point of defeating the empire, if another "empire" comes along? Whats the point of defeating Darth Vader and the emperor and redeeming him if another "Vader like guy and emperor" comes along? Whats the point of blowing up the Death Star twice if another "Death Star" comes along?

I feel like Star Wars is never going to offer something fresh because of the negative reaction to the prequels.

This is weird but I actually enjoyed Red Steel 1 over 2.

1 is not great due to the wonky aiming, but the actual game was a decent shooter. I liked the destructible environments and the rag doll physics.

Everyone kept saying how 2 was better so I picked it up used. Its primarily a sword fighting game with guns as secondary. You spend the majority of the game roaming around empty environments, smashing objects to get money, and fighting the same enemies over and over again.

The controls do work, but it gets very tiring swinging the Wiimote around. I honestly had more fun with the sword fighting minigame in Wii Sports Resort.

"If you don't update your information by 11/15/2017, your coverage might not be continued for next year"

I mean...could you explain why? I already signed up but I'm wondering if I did it correctly and I'm afraid of going back and changing it.

The wording in the application is odd because it uses phrases like, "next year". You file 2017 taxes in 2018, so which year are they talking about? Why not just use the actual year so there's no confusion?
