My Bum Knee

The alternate title for this blog is, “Life is tough, suck it up.” Last weekend I was taking a Sunday afternoon nap on the sofa. As I rolled over my foot was caught between the cushion and the armrest. I heard a pop and a sudden pressure in my right knee. I’m young, I can walk it off… right? For a week I’ve stretched and twisted in an attempt “work out” the tension. When the popping started I decided to peruse WebMD.com for a solution. I’ve decided to stop the stretching and try to rest the knee for now.

I hobbled to the grocery store today. As I limped along I was surprised to notice several other shoppers with irregular strides. Knee trouble is common I suppose, but I’ve always assumed injuries like that come with a great story. Will I be scarred by my lazy Sunday for the rest of my life?
