RICE (m)

Lyn goes on the internet, searching for remedies for my knee injury.  Some site suggests a treatment plan with the acronym of RICE.

R...Rest, she says.
I...you need to apply Ice. 4-8 x per day for 20 minutes.  This will get the swelling down.
C..Compression.  Wrap something around your knee.  This should make it feel more comfortable.
E..."Eat?", I ask, hopefully.  No...Elevation! she says.

Too bad.  Except for that "E" thing, I thought I had a treatment plan tailor-made for me.
