My Locked Knee

am two weeks into nursing an injured knee. doctors say it must be the meniscus though nobody's fully sure. so i'm under obsevation since the past 2 weeks. feels very odd being so observed though its only me i guess. I dont remember ever loooking and feeling my knee so intently willing it to heal.

Now one might say, if its not paining too much(did I tell you not much of a pain just a locking sensation) then whats the big issue with resting for a couple of weeks, catch up on reading and stuff. Well my friend the problem is with the routine I am breaking these days - that of the treadmill. And the resultant eaxpansion in my lateral dimensions. The treadmill, while it was there was a constant challenge everyday. Getting on it and trying to beat my previous best was soething that was the highlight of the day. And i was getiignpretty good at that (jogging speed of 10kms/hr for 15 minute stretch over 2.5 to 3km. you actually feel a lot lighter, a lot fitter and a lot jumpier and it was in this jumpier self that i jumped my Meniscus. And so I am here chronicling my bruised knee taking breaks in between to stare at it.

the doctor seems casually nonchalant about the issue even suspicious that i might be cooking up a phantom injury but whats there is there and you cannot deny a locked knee I guess.

and since that fateful evening I have had to turn down a few opportunities of adventurous outing that were thrown my way adding misery to my pain.

I am getting to the doctor 2day and getting the thing checked.Lets hope for the best and in the mean time I should be learning to adapt a bit better.
