Stupid Me

So, the many of you on facebook already know that I've managed to really hurt my stupid knee.

Well, it feels like I've been set back a good 5-6 months recovery time, here! Having it bent, having it unsupported, walking at all, hurts so bad; I am SOOO frustrated with it and mad at myself!!! It's even incredibly swollen again, and no amount of icing, ibuprofen, or naproxen seems to take the edge off the pain or make the swelling go down.

GRRRRRRR!!!!

How can I be the same girl who did ballet for so long, the same girl who hated learning to ski because she was out of control of her limbs, always afraid of a foul on the basketball court because she didn't want to risk hurting herself? Somewhere something flipped a switch- I'm still not too keen on hurting myself, but I end up with stupid injuries all the time.

Just when I thought I was doing well.... BAM!... stupid desk, stupid Melinda, stupid long legs, stupid bad knee, stupid sensitive body that can't just bruise and be done with it.
