Injury to insult

My knee has flaked out.

Last night, in order to get upstairs, I had to hand-over-hand myself up the railing, because the knee wouldn't take my weight. And it's a left-hand railing going up and my right knee, which was just the wrong way to go about things.

Of course, on maximum perversity settings (as my body always is) it stopped hurting as I got upstairs; I took my shower, and it went out again, though not as badly, as I went down the hall to the bedroom, and hurt in pulses on and off through the night. And continues to do so, though not as badly, today; we'll see if it goes plotz on me again.

I would like to take a mulligan on this month.

Gods, I sound like a whiney bitch these days.

JFTR, I haven't noticed you sounding like a whiney bitch. I have noticed you have a rotten string of luck, and being justifiably upset about it. These two things are not the same.

I suppose. . . :}

I'm up to the point where the stress in my life is running higher than I have capacity to sensibly handle it, which has never happened before, unless the stress breakdown counts; it's never happened before in this form, at least.

On the bright side, I'm vigorously cutting out of my life things that are causing me additional stress at this point. Maybe I'll come out of it afterwards with a better sense of balance or something. *grasping at straws*

Knee hasn't gone out badly again today. Maybe it was a one-time thing. Or your vibes vibed.

Hoooray, balance.

I think I've been in similar places. Cutting out stressful things is good thing to be doing. It does get better. It always gets better, eventually. It may help if you keep that fact firmly in mind.
