[D'oh!]

Well, thanks, anyway. How far away are you guys?

[jumpthegun]

Couple of days. We're heading for the elementary school.

Okay, cool.

Let's say it's bad news for my knee. Can I get or make like a brace or something? I'd really rather not get carried around for weeks.

[jumpthegun]

I don't have a brace, but I can probably put one together for you. Depending on the severity of that injury, Peter, this might be something you don't want to wrap. I'm sorry I can't be more definitive than that. Icing it is a good place to start. Do that regularly, but make sure whatever you're using, you keep something over the knee so you're not having snow directly in contact with it.

Don't wrap, ice, something over the knee so it's not directly iced, vague implications that this is going to suck for a long time, got it.

Anything I need to do for my fantastically busted face?

[jumpthegun]

[Don't shoot the messenger, Peter.]

Ice there would probably help with any swelling and pain. There's not a lot that can be done there apart from rest. But please keep track of when you're sleeping. Or have Bucky do it. Nodding off when you're actively trying to sleep is fine. Passing out is a symptom of the concussion and bad.
