I wrecked my knee.

As the title of this blog states, I wrecked my knee yesterday. Honest to God, this was a homework related accident. I was sitting on my livingroom floor doing my homework because that happened to be where my computer (the big one which I cannot move because its power cord is messed and it also does not have a battery because a certain someone spilled OJ on it...and my netbook is far too difficult to perform any kind of work-related tasks on) was sitting. Aside from the fact that after 3 hours of homework my back felt like jello, I went to stand to go to the washroom and my left knee had completely given out. Yay!

So, being that it is a Sunday and nothing was open in the evening, I had to drive to Shoppers in Oromocto to get a knee brace because I thought I was going to have to amputate my leg without one.

Aside from the fact that it was excruciatingly painful, I was more fearful that I would go back to where I was in my first year of university. I almost completely lost the ability to walk because I have some sort of messed up syndrome called "patellofemoral pain syndrome", which is essentially the wearing and fraying of the cartilege behind my kneecap.

Moral: Either a) don't do homework or b) don't stand after extended periods of homeworking.

Brightside: it feels a little bit better today. I am no longer seriously considering outfitting my apartment with a series of bars, rails, and aides.
