Watch The Knee

About 7 or 8 months ago I almost fell while I was at work. Like they had these weird wood things on the floor because they were reconstructing something in the kitchen. It was really annoying to step on and just about everyone was tripping on it. One of the cooks, Dave, had to go back to his doctor for his knee because the floor was irritating his knee.

I had almost fell one day but I had landed on my knee in a weird way. When I landed on it then it hurted really bad for like 3 minutes but then it stopped. Ever since then my right knee would hurt on and off.

When I first started working out in September then my knee wasn't bothering me. It was always at random when my knee would start to thribe in pain so it was hard to say what caused the pain but ever since I have done Insanity then my knee has been hurting more frequently. During the workout my knee was fine, but the next day my knee was killing me.

Ever since that day, tomorrow will make it two weeks, my knee has been in some type of pain at least once everyday. When I first mentioned my knee hurting to my aunt (who is a registered nurse) she expressed that I should go and get it checked out by a doctor. I haven't been able to find time that will be good enough for me to get it checked.

But I need my knee. I have to stand with it and if I can't stand then I can't practice martial arts. My knee never hurts from martial arts until we do stretches so that's good. The thing that will help me most is appointment. The doctor can tell me what limits I should be pushing myself to and how to make my knee better.

My biggest concern when it comes to my knee is not being able to workout or practice martial arts because it's too late to change my senior project. Plus I don't want to change it because it's a lot of fun and I enjoy it. I have to make an appointment really soon so that I can make sure I'm not putting myself in any extreme risk conditions. I plan on making my appointment very soon. First I have to find time because I really don't want to miss any classes.

Once again, my struggle is juggling everything.
