The other evening, I injured my knee again. That familiarly bony pop and sharp pain told me that I’d be hobbling around for a while. I managed to pop whatever went out of place back into place yesterday. If I can hook my ankle into something and pull my leg straight back it will usually pop back into place. Of course, there’s the stabbing nauseating pain and stream of curses that accompanies that endeavor, successful or not.

I’ve been icing my knee and staying off of it as much as I can stand. It seems to be paying off. I can walk around a bit without the cane, but am trying to keep my weight off of it when doing any substantial moving around.

I miss the gym. I’ve been playing with my exercise ball and dumbbells between chores and surfing. That’ll do for the time being.

Does anyone have recommendations for exercise without using one’s legs? My bad knee finally gave out tonight popping out of place. I’ve been staying away from the gym, but can’t stand it and need alternatives. I can walk, but only with a cane and knee support for the time being.

I bought a medicine ball earlier today and am planning to use the nautilus at the gym for bench pressing and that sort of thing. I have some dumbbells at home.

Disappointing, but you work with what you have.

With my knees and back killing me, I took off yesterday and instead went to sleep shortly after I got home. I was exhausted.

I have an engagement tonight, so it’s back to the gym on Friday. Hopefully the two day break will be enough to heal up a bit. I’m also looking at alternatives to the cross-trainer. I think I can do 3 days a week on that puppy and really tear it up, but need to find something back and knee friendly for alternating days.
