My right knee is misaligned as you can see from this X-ray. It is a little off center and I had been having a problem with it being sore off and on for years.
A few years ago I was going down the back steps in the dark and missed a step which caused a break in the kneecap. The ER gave me this brace and crutches.
I was graduated to this hinged knee brace after a while. It was a pain in the butt. Not being able to drive was the worst.
My "ow" happened again the other day as I was coming out of the studio. I was hurrying and was carrying my planner and my phone. I stepped funny onto one of the stepping stones and fell, twisting my knee. OW!
I am pretty sure I didn't break my knee again because I've been putting heat on it at night and it is feeling better. I've also been able to walk Benny and when I broke it before I couldn't have done that.
I was almost more upset because my planner fell in the dirt and I didn't know if I could deal with a dirty planner for a year. Fortunately I was able to clean it off enough. My phone is a different story. The screen protector cracked and I have to order a replacement. Good thing we got the protection plan. OW. Thanks, Linda!
Oh Janet - what a pain (in so many ways!) Sorry about your poor knee and your phone cover - but good news about the planner. Hopefully you've now gotten your bad stuff out of the way for 2020 and the good stuff can start to roll in :)
ReplyDeleteI vote for that!
DeleteSorry to hear this. Hope the knee is feeling better by now and your new screen protector gets to you soon.
ReplyDeleteKnee is better and got a notice the protector is on the way! Thanks for the good thoughts, Wendy.
