Yes indeed, this is a post. And what is this post on? Well, I think it’ll be a post on the frailty of the human body. To be specific though, it’ll be a post on my human body. To be yet extra specific, it’ll be a post on my knee. My bad, bad knee.
It’s hideous kids. Well, not really hideous, but swelly and puffy and sploushy when you poke it in certain places. How long has it been like this you ask? Since last week Thursday. I of course (and why wouldn’t I really) didn’t think anything of it considering the knee hasn’t really regained its composure since I tweaked it over a month ago. I ran on it, somewhat, pushed it at times, cared less about its health than I should have and low and behold …after a restless sleep Wednesday night, awoke with yet another clicking sound that persisted through the Thursday day culminating in the wonderful, water-logged beast before me. Yep …5 days of not being able to bend the stupid thing. Until today that is.
Today is nice(er) because I can finally walk without looking like that hunchback creature of hunchback fame. Why even at work I was told that I should stuff something in my shirt around my upper back as to better simulate the monstrosity. I laughed. But not really. Going through life with a rigid lower limb is something you don’t wish upon people. I never thought that there was so much that our little knees are kneeded for, but it’s true ….everything! The other sucky thing is that your compensating limb also becomes withered and fraught with ‘tinges’ from assuming the lion’s share of the upper torso for so long.
Spring in the meantime is laughing its ass off at me. Even the little kids playing soccer in the nearby field are casting long-distance smirks in my direction; as if to say “Ha ha old man! Look at you being a man and being old!” Thanks kids. *I hope you get ridiculed at school for a bad haircut or something* It’s 21 Cel. today and the perfect time to be running and biking about, but I sadly have to set here eating and following RICE (rest, ice, compression and eating chocolate). Soon though. Yes, soon I will extract my revenge on Spring by over-exerting myself and becoming Summer’s causality.
It’s just my way.
