In three days, it will be two years since my surgery to repair the meniscus tear in my right knee. In a few months after that, it will be three years since my initial injury. My knee popped out this morning. It popped out yesterday as well and Sean was there to witness the whole thing then.
So, my knee will burn when something is not right in it. My Mom will raise my right foot up until it will give a loud, hollow sounding, “Pop” usually followed by a groan or tears. I am not sure that Sean has ever witnessed this whole process before because it usually happens when he is at school.
He asked me yesterday if it feels better after it pops. I told him that it does but I have to endure the pain of the, “Pop” before I get the relief of my knee feeling better. Then I told him that my knee aches and throbs more for the rest of the day.
I just can’t believe that this is STILL happening! I believe that difficult things are easier to deal with as long as there is an end to it. What it is looking like now is that my knee will hurt me forever! I go to sleep hoping that my knee will feel better in the morning and most of the time, I wake up to it, “Popping” out! REALLY?! STILL?!
