Not So Kneet
An update on me knee. It hurts like balls, but that’s mainly my fault. On with the story.
I woke up Monday, all ready for my run, went “hey, my knee feels a lot better, I could probably do a good run today, it’s only a little bit sore, so it’ll be fine”. Well crap, it had gotten better compared to last week (where I couldn’t run after 3 miles), but yesterday I couldn’t run more than 4. So I hobbled back to my apartment and took a painful shower. What an idiot, I should’ve waited another week or at least a few days.
Well my sister called, her laptop died and she really need her school notes off it. Obviously I couldn’t do anything so last night family drove up, so she could drop off the laptop (dead drive, needs a replacement), and we all went to dinner with sister’s fiance who happens to be a doctor.
Well, while I was getting out of the car (mind you, I can’t bend my knee at all or put any pressure on it) my mom noticed my painful face and slow movement getting out of the car. Wasn’t really a big deal but mothers…She made a huge deal out of it and got the fiance to doctor me up.
It turns out I’ve got fluid build up in my right knee and I was an idiot for running on it. I was all up for putting a needle in there removing all the fluid, which is possible, but apparently it hurts a lot and it’s better to go the other slower route and my mom freaked out again when I mentioned the needle part. So I can’t go running for at least a week (probably 2) and I have to take 2 Advil’s in the morning and evening AND I need to wear a knee brace. If not better in 2 weeks, I need to get an MRI. Boooooo.
So my bed smells like ice/hot now and with no running going on my sleep is going to suck, I’m going to be lazy at work and school, and food is going to taste like dung. Damn knee, what the hell dude?
