degeneration

Eight months after tearing my ACL and MCL, I have intermittent arthritis in my right knee. I haven't yet decided whether my osteoarthritis is in sync with the weather, but that would at least be handy.

I have bunions, bilaterally but worse on my left foot. I can't wear heels for more than an hour or two.

My total cholesterol is around 265.

24 going on 70. Awesome.

The Islands- Return to the Sea
I wonder how long until I pejoratively refer to them as young whippersnappers, disturbing my peace with their loud rock and roll music.

update

The unhappy triad and I went swimming yesterday for the first time. I think I only swam a kilometer, and of that maybe 200 was breast stroke. I'd been pretty worried about the movement, because of all the stress it puts on my healed MCL, not to mention the never-going-to-heal ACL. I have been practicing the movement during my fake-me-out pilates sessions on my bedroom floor, but that doesn't help with the fact that air has a lot less resistance than water. 7 months out, I'll say I can (and hopefully will get off my lazy ass and) swim.
