The thing is I have no ACL. So unless I get surgery, there’s nothing really magical that I can do that’s going to make it better.

My knee is loose, and it’s not stable, and that’s the way it’s going to be from here on out. Lindsey Vonn

Edward Everett Hale
I tore up my knee break dancing. I have no idea how that happened. Apparently these legs are meant for swimming, but not dancing.

Moving between the legs of tables and of chairs, rising or falling, grasping at kisses and toys, advancing boldly, sudden to take alarm, retreating to the corner of arm and knee, eager to be reassured, taking pleasure in the fragrant brilliance of the Christmas tree. T. S. Eliot
As a youngster, my mother and father always drilled into my head having something to fall back on. My father was kind of funny. I’d score 40 points.
