Reply #10: 7000 steps, a.m. yoga and a torn ACL. [View All]

The last one came really randomly; I was getting off the bus and suddenly heard (and felt) pop-pop-pop-pop and my knee ceased to be supportive. I must have moved in just the wrong way.... So, needless to say, I did not take my evening walk and get my last 1.5 miles in.

It was the good knee. (F#%^, F#$%, F$%&!!!!!!!!!!!) The bad knee is now the somewhat better knee, and is taking up the slack, so both are hurting a lot. Xrays showed the meniscus is still pretty stable though torn, but I need an MRI to check the ligaments. (And more vicodin.)

So I'm on 72 hours rest with it. I am so mad at my loose joints and apparent lack of anything even remotely related to collagen I could spit. There are times when being ultra-flexible is a bad thing.....
