About a year ago, I started conversing with my doc about the popping and wicked pain in my right knee. Fast-forward to the end of the summer: meniscus repair, pretty minor in the realm of knee surgeries. Now nearly 9mos post-op, the popping & pain have returned. 😦 I want to exercise, but it hurts to climb stairs, much less exert myself with something crazy like jogging!

Talk about a Catch-22: I need to lose the weight that I gained while blaming the fact that my knee was in so much pain, and now I feel like I’m stuck. The one activity I think I could tolerate doing is swimming, but between work & home obligations, I have a difficult time getting to the university pool or the Y during operating hours.

Pity party, waah. 😦
