Today's good bit of news is that there's nothing seriously wrong with my dodgy knee, and with a bit of rest, it should heal up fine.
After two weeks of hobbling around with painful knee, this is very good news! The knee is still a little sore, but it's only a small tear to the ligament and a bit of inflammation. It probably did not help that I kept right on
walkinglimping around instead of resting it up, but there were things that needed doing, and anyway, there's no use crying over spilt milk!A week or so of perambulating on a reduced scale, and it should be right as rain. However right that is. Or left.
Funnily enough, the worst part of this little episode is not the pain (although at first it was pretty painful, and there are some bad twinges now and again). The worst part is having to explain how the knee came to be hurt. Somehow, there is something almost silly about saying that you injured your knee walking down the street.
Not mountain-climbing, not sky-diving, not marathon-running. Just an ordinary stroll down 500 meters of tarmac, and then suddenly - OW! Pain shoots through your knee.
Your audience's reaction invariably involves raised eyebrows. And the occasional twitch of a cheek muscle - just a tic, you know.
Maybe I should have said I'd been wrestling carnivorous grizzly bears. Or shark-hunting. Hmm, that has a nice ring to it. Shark-hunting.
but of course
you and i
know the truth.
i was walking.
as usual,
the truth is
stranger than
fiction.
