"Give Me a Break!" she yelled at the universe.

I was thinking about cussing at the universe but then I though I better not do that cuz it could get worse.

About two months ago I hyper extended my knee. I stand with my knees locked. I know this is horrible and I have tried to catch myself & stop. Well as luck would have it I was standing in this position in the kitchen and my knee went backwards (think of a Barbie doll and bending her knee backwards that's what I did) my knee was swollen for about a week and half it slowly got better then my neck went out (I wrote a whole blog on this) Lately, I have been feeling pretty good trying to work out here and there again.

About two days ago, I noticed that when I am sleeping I sleep with my left leg extended and my right leg tucked in (like tree position only lying down) I noticed that my knee was starting to feel twisted so the last two days it has hurt. It was just feeling better today. This morning after I put Owen down for his nap I went to Jett's room to watch a video about our coffee maker. Chris (my hubby) mentioned that the coffee maker was brewing slow again and we needed to clean it. I have also been wanting to figure out how to use the frother (so that I would stop using the CoffeeMate creamer that is full of calories and high fructose corn syrup. I wanted to froth milk instead and use splenda in my coffee to cut some calories that I don't need). I found the manual and the video. I read some of the manual but decided that the video would demonstrate how to use the frother better. I laid down on Jett's bed as it was a better position for viewing the video and automatically went into the position that I usually do while lying on my back and felt something get horribly pulled in the back of my leg. I stood up and collapsed. I could not walk without hobbling!

I had to call my husband and have him come home to help me with the kids. Needless to say he was not thrilled having to come home to care for his invalid wife and kids but did so anyway. He is now in the kitchen making dinner being the Manny.

I have been kinda depressed lately and this has just been the snapping point. I am so bummed out to be yet again laid up on the couch unable to perform my normal routine. I truly hate this. I just want to feel good in my body & do all the normal things that I should be able to do without falling apart. I just cringe to think of being really incapacitated. I would just want to die. I really see how important it is to keep in good health esp. as a mother. I have to be in good health in not for me then for them. Anyway...just thought I would blog about this since I am sitting here on the couch be bummed out...& thinking about all the things I need to be doing......
