I was watching the grandsons in the park yesterday and decided (foolishly) to shoot some hoops with one of them, when I felt a R-I-P in my knee. Any progress I had made is gone, and more.
I'm going to take the weekend to rest up and baby it before I decide whether I should go to the doctor. I know I didn't really break or tear anything, because I wouldn't be able to walk. But walking is painful, and the stairs more so. Today I plan to stay in all day and not even tackle the stairs, in hopes that will facilitate healing. And maybe tomorrow, as well.
I do have a full hamper of colored clothes, but laundry can wait. It's not like I don't have enough clothes to wear!
A larger urgency is kitty litter and cat food. If I were feeling normal I would get both today. I'm going to try to hold out until Monday.
So, the bright side is, no temptation to spend, and I should have a nice weekend reading and relaxing.
And I need to start thinking about what to do about getting into a first-floor condo or a building with an elevator. I love this condo, but it's clearly a problem every time I injure my legs, which I seem to be doing more and more frequently. Sigh.
Here We Go Again

One suggestion, when I wreck my knees, I try to wear supportive shoes or sneakers, even indoors, and not my slippers-- that helps me.
