The Bionic Woman

So, about a month ago I was doing

squats with a medicine ball

And the next day I had very bad knee pain.

It goes back to the arthroscopic surgery I had in college

because I fell while doing this

-another story for another time......

Well, my knee has bothered me every day for a month.

I finally went to a doctor and he told me I have

"A LOAD OF ARTHRITIS IN MY KNEE."

-a load.

I guess that's a technical term.

So he gave me a choice:

a) anti-inflamatory pills

b) cortisone shot

I chose

I got the shot on Friday, took it easy at the gym.

Saturday, I gave my new bionic knee a try.

YEAH BABY!!!

I felt like a new woman!

I ran, and ran and ran.

Well, no, actually I walked, ran, walked some more,

ran, walked, ran...you get the idea.

(I walk till I'm bored, then run till I can't)

NO PAIN!!!!!!!

Yeah, yeah, I know steroids are not the best,

but I'm hoping that as I get in better shape

my knee won't bother me as much.

Damn surfing accident.
