Knees are Tofu: Day 3

Get on down
...
I get to get on the Good Foot
I got to do it on the Good Foot
Do it with your Good Foot

James Brown knows where it's at.

Today was better. My attitude is no longer "I am broken."

I am recovering.

Dawn D. called me back at work and dropped her knowledge of knee reconstruction and rehabilitation. I could barely keep up. I feel like I've joined some weird cult with initation rites nvolving the sacrifice of various Cruciate Ligaments and cartilege.

Found this quote today;
One must never lose time in vainly regretting the past or in complaining against the changes which cause us discomfort, for change is the essence of life.
-Anatole France

I spent a good part of yesterday lamenting what happened and assesing the moments leading up to my injury. It is eerily ironic how much foreshadowing you can pick out of an experience after the fact. Dawn D. reminded me that we talked about blown knees on Saturday at the tourney and I know that a few points before my blowout, Nate and I were talking about our soccer careers. I commented on how being left footed had degraded every joint from hip to ankle. D'oh.
