An open letter to my left knee, and Gotein winner

Dear Left Knee,

I am so sorry that you felt neglected and felt as though the only way to get my attention was to swell up and become painful.  I know that over the years your cohort  Right Knee has received a lot more attention after all she is the one that got kicked by a calf during branding and then a year later banged herself up pretty good on a case cart at work. She is the reason we couldn't do squats very good for a couple of years.  I know I have babied her, iced her, prodded her and just generally given her all the attention.  A true case of the squeaky wheel gets the grease.  You meanwhile have been so good.  You have never once complained.  You have gone along all these years without giving me any trouble until yesterday.  Do know that I love you too.  I have always been thankful for your faithfulness and hard work. No one could have asked for a better knee. Now please get back to feeling better. You have made your point and I hear you loud and clear.  I am working on trying to accept that we will probably not do the half marathon we have trained so hard for this weekend, but could we maybe reconcile enough to do the one in September? Please, I love you so much.  I promise to RICE you everyday and never take you for granted again. Tomorrow I will make one of the ortho surgeons at work look at you and decide what we should do.  We can be great again I know it.

Love ME

  5. Catching up on blogs...Sending good thoughts to your knee...

    And on your last post, I too hate to cook, but love to eat. My husband is a great cook and does it a lot, but I know he'd like it if I were more into it. It was more fun for me before the kids. Maybe when they're a little older...
