[RC] Beware of those NON endurance sports (was blown knees) - Maggie Mieske
I am ashamed to admit that though I can do a 50 miler
nowadays and feel great after and am even contemplating my first 100 miler this
year, I went BOWLING last night and turned my knee just enough to mess it
up!!! I am sooooo mad!!! How can I make it through 50 miles on the
back of a horse, miss all those knee knockers, finally be able to mount and
dismount by myself at the end of these rides and then hurt myself
throwing a damn bowling ball??????? I can't believe it. It didn't
even hurt at first and then today it swelled and I had a lot of trouble with
it...soooo lots of ice on and off, my magnetic knee wrap (which I was lucky to
find hidden in the shed from when we cleaned out our old horse trailer...had it
from hurting my knee a couple of years ago but not this ligament stuff!!) and
lots of ibuprofen. I think it's a curse I have....oh, gee, a ride is
coming up! I MUST find a way to "twist my ankle" or "pull a muscle in my
back or anywhere else while doing laundry" or "fall off a step coming out of the
house" or "you name a dumb thing and I can do it"!!! :) Makes me
crazy!!!
