Summary
Ed had learned young that pirates that survive, don’t ask for help. Especially not when they’ve taken an injury. He’d seen plenty of men put down just for showing the slightest weakness. But age, nor time, doesn’t help keep pain at bay.
So, after three weeks on Bonnet’s ship, Ed’s knee is about ready to do him in. The constant charades that kept the crew both amused and amusing give no time to accommodate an easily angered knee. A knee that had taken years of injuries, and no longer needed a specific injury to kick off day long bouts of excruciating pain. No, these days it just took too much humidity or a slightly wobbly floor board or too many days without a break. Some days, it took nothing at all. That was just the way it was.

(Ed gets a bit more help than he's used to, after his knee pain flares up.)
