Fucksake, I went out to retrieve an Amazon package delivered to the next-door neighbor’s porch, walked up 2 of the 4 steps on their porch, and my right knee just decided it was done with being a knee. It just kind of collapsed in a direction that it shouldn't go.
It hurt so badly that I had to just hold the railing tightly and breathe deeply for like a minute so I wouldn’t yell, because I was on my neighbor's steps and that would be embarrassing. Then I leaned way forward to get the package, because I didn’t think it was a good idea to go up the last 2 steps, maneuvered my way back down the steps *backwards*, limped back across our yard with the box in my arms, figured out how to climb the 4 steps on our front porch, and now I am full of ibuprofen with an ice pack on my knee. What the fuck. It hurts a LOT.
I had other plans, none of which involved elevating my leg and icing my knee. Tonight we are getting sushi and seeing Deadpool & Wolverine, and the knee issue is not going to stop me. The movie theater seats recline, so that's a bonus for my knee.
