If it can, IT WILL

So, its definitely official that anything that could possible be thrown in my direction, has been and continually will present itself.  Today I found out that I will be having the first of my two knee surgeries on May 1.  Although I have been dealing with knee issues for over ten years, I didn't think it was too bad until recently when I began training for a 5K with a friend of mine.  The pain became so constant I finally gave in to the warnings of friends and family.  They were right.  My knees are so damaged from constant activity from my youth that surgery is the only remaining option for me.  In layman's terms-my knee caps shift out of the groves where they should be and cause pressure and pain on my knee.  My surgeon will use a scope and slice the tissue to hopefully relieve stress on my knee cap so it will pull back into place. For all those smart people out there, this procedure is called knee scope with lateral release.  SO... this means no 5K .... at least not this year.  Hopefully my recovery time will be about a month and then its on to knee #2.  I'm pretty sure that my number HAS got to come up soon.  Maybe just once I'll catch a break.
