Knee issues, blah

My stupid knee started hurting this weekend.  Of course, it is the good one and not the previously torn up one.  It's not bad just a lateral ligament sprain but still it hinders what I can do.   My chiro placed some restrictions on my activities and that frustrates me.  I hate having to baby an injury.  Ugh!  Ms. All-star was great at coming up with other things that didn't torture my knee.  I got to punch a bag and work out my knee frustration!  :)  Always a good thing in my book!  I plan to buy a new brace tonight and hit the treadmill to test it out.  Here's hoping that it doesn't get worse.  I am definitely not the best patient or a patient patient!!  Plus, moving actually makes it feel better and sitting makes it stiff.   I just had a funny thought: now Ms. AS and I are the gimp leading the gimp!  We are both a mess.  Maybe she rubbed off on me and I am having sympathy knee...

The good part about having to change up my activities is we can focus more on my core.  However, this presents all sorts of new frustrations.  I hate not being able to hold myself up or that I continually fall over when doing these exercises.  I know I am too hard on myself.  But is that really a bad thing?  

I think I will head off for a little walk around campus.  I need to get those steps in before midnight because this girl needs some sleep!  I have a new recipe to post a little later.   Something to look forward too!!
