That moment when you realize...
...that you're not as fit as you used to be.
Or as young as you used to be. *sigh* I took the girls to an introductory (aka: free) martial arts class in a studio that just opened in our town. Since it was just us, I figured I'd participate. Everything was fun -- punching things is cool! Then the instructor had us run and kick a heavy bag thing and...bam. I don't know if my kneecap popped out of place or what, but MAN! The pain! (I was on the floor clutching my knee, trying to play it off a bit so I wouldn't look like the Fat Mom that threw out her knee.) *double sigh* I did sit out for the rest of the class...and now I'm looking forward to icing the knee after the kiddos are in bed. It's not hurting so much right now, but if I do any sort of sideways motion or turn my foot out/in at all while standing, my knee gives out. I know I'm out of shape -- this was not news, LOL. But I didn't realize I would break myself just doing simple movements. (Where's that roll-eyes smiley when ya need it...) |

Oh, NO! I think it's less of being out of shape and more of doing something you're not used to doing anymore at full speed. At least that's my theory anyway. Seriously, though, ice, ice, ice. If not better in the morning, it's time to visit the doctor.

Oh no!! I hope you didn't tear anything. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I agree to see a doctor if it doesn't heal soon.

I hope you heal quickly.

I'm sorry that you were injured, and I hope you heal quickly. I don't think it's about your condition or your age---it sounds like it was the nature of the movement that was the culprit.

It would've been wise of me to remember I am *not* Karate Kid.  Thanks for all the well wishes, everyone. I put ice on it while I watched the Downton series finale  so at least I made good use of my time.
