Today I celebrate my knees. In 1994 I had ACL surgery on my left knee, a surgery I don't wish upon anyone. The surgery itself wasn't so bad, but the rehab...9 months. My knee experienced quite a bit of tendonitis and has had struggles in cold and damp weather ever since. Today I celebrate my left knee and my right knee for all that they've been through. These knees have supported the entire weight of my body for many years. They've allowed me to ski and dance and jump and play. My knees don't match one another in size. My left knee has a unique shape to it, has two screws inside and has a 2 1/2" scar which has been mistaken for a run in my pantyhose. "No, that's a run in my leg," I'd say.
My knees, despite their differences and their past, are beautiful, strong and resilient. Today I give my knees a break as it's my 'day off' from working out. Today I celebrate my knees!
