The devastating end to my illustrious career in marathon running

Today is the fourth day of the third flare-up of my knee. And by flare-up, I mean swollen at least 50%, zombie-like walking, and horrifying pain when I attempted to bend my legs in any fashion.

So I went to the doctor today to find out what's going on and it's patellofemoral pain syndrome. Or, my knee cap is wrestling with my thigh bone. But it's really just a symptom of TFF - Too Fucking Fat. Lose some weight, chick, or keep getting the knee pain.

On the bright side, I'm down 8 pounds. Maybe I am subconsciously injuring myself for the gratification of being weighed on the doctor's scale and having it recorded in my chart.

This made me almost laugh loud enough to wake up Sprout. I caught myself.
I'm stalled at around 5 pounds since new years. Its not official like yours is tho. I'm green with envy.

You should go to my doctor, who's the team physician for the local pro baseball team. My visits:

Kashka: "When I do this crazy-assed thing, here's what hurts."

Dr.: "Here's an even more crazy-assed thing you can do so it doesn't hurt."

I just a bit suspect that if I asked him for HGH he'd hook me up.

Oh, don't be so hard on yourself hon. I think many of us are in a similar boat. At least you're making a lot of progress.
