It's been a bad week...

Monday was heavy rains, and so our basement flooded. While cleaning up the flood, I managed to slip and hyperextend my knee. Tuesday I went to the gym, and somehow, without noticing moved weirdly enough (probably compensating for the knee) that I pulled both hamstring muscles. (Those are better now.) Thursday I managed to fall and twist the unhappy knee (I can feel it still trying to hyperextend, and all the ligaments and stuff are loose) and again bend it backwards. Cayne's worked late every night this week.

I want it to be Saturday so I can curl up and hang out with Cayne.

Ugh. I slipped in the shower a few years ago and hyperextended my knee. Horrible, horrible horrible. I did PT for about 6 weeks, strengthening the muscles above the knee to help support it. But I still have problems, particularly when I try to wear heels, or walk up a steep hill.

I've had knee issues with the same knee since eighth grade, when I strained ligaments in it-I probably should have landed myself in PT then, but the orthopedist didn't send me, which seems kind of silly. I'd been okay for years, with pain only once in a while, in bad weather, or when I just did too much, but this is crazy.
