I believe its the ACL. It is a ligament tear. Is not as bad as I've had it in the past though. I've had it way worse. This time its healing pretty fast. I am wearing a knee brace and I plan on exercising it tonight to build back some strength. It came out of nowhere though. I went for a bout 4 years I think of it seeming completely fine then BAM! Its back!

I hope your leg is feeling better. Thought I would write and tell you all that I am going rogue. For years and years 49 of them to be exact, I have been the caretaker. From strangers to family I have been the one folks lean on when in trouble. Then I went into paramedic studies, and nursing, and to make it worse, I wound up working in a prison. So, all my life the wounded come. Whos fault is that? probably mine. The funny thing is that I have gained much more than I lost thru the years. it grew addictive. I even fixed most of the seniors computers in this town for free. I have made sure that every birthday, every christmas, every milestone of those around me got celebrated. Sending cards and letters even to those that never send them back. I am having a very hard time this year because here at stand on the edge of my b/d and NOT ONE card has come from my family. NOT ONE. I have received cards from Italy, Ireland, Scotland, Africa, Bolivia, and so on around the world, but the one that would have meant the most was from my family. This revelation has knocked me off the edge of the world, and has caused a huge shift in my line of thinking. I am sick. I am more blind than sighted. I have given up much in the last 5 years. This disease just keeps taking, and it has pushed me to a corner that I feel I just can no longer escape from. I am too tired, and too sick to keep chasing folks that dont want to be chased. I am too tired and too sick to keep giving to those that are now taking advantage. I am too tired and too sick to bleed myself dry to benefit others, so...Im going rogue. I have cancelled ALL of my clients. I have referred them all to a capable guy with 20/20 vision and the drive to want to do this till 2am non stop. I have taken my little old lady clients around town that I have been caretaking and have turned them over to the visiting nurse. Those I was preparing meals for are not with meals on wheels. I quit playing FFXI because I cant see it. I didnt give any of it away, I just slept her as she sat. Why do I say all this? Well, I think this is my goodbye. I have enjoyed playing with each and every one of you, and I have been honored to be your friends. I can no longer see well enough to stay up to date on the forums, and well, since I no longer play the same games that kept us attached, whats the point? So, thank you to all of you for what you have added to my game life, my social life, and my emotional life. I have treasured each time someone has sidled up beside me and said "lets play!" since I cant play, its only a waste of your time and mne. I am hurt beyond repair that I stand forgotten on my birthday. in time I am sure it will heal, but the wound was inflicted intentionally, and that hurts more than the offense, so I am going to go off and do other things. I cant see, so my choices are limited, but I am sure I can come up with some sort of trouble to get into. Much love to you all. TY so much for all that you gave. Please know I will carry each of you with me into whatever the next step may carry.

Oh ho! Kik means business here! Can't escape him. ;D
Ever have a stupid day? Where you do everything like a retard? Yesterday SUUUUUUCKED for me. I was at work and I did everything like a moron. I was driving the forklift like an asshole, I kept forgetting stuff, I asked the manager a question that I should have known the answer to. Yesterday was seriously a dumb day for me. The entire day was a major brain fart.
So to make up for it I went out to a friends birthday party, got shitfaced drunk and became more of an idiot, and today I am, oddly enough, not hung over. I feel fine. That's the worst part of drinking. The hangover. If you are hung over, the entire day is shot. Its a waste of a day cause you can't do anything. I am so thankful I am feeling fine. The worst I had to deal with this morning was a dry mouth, due to dehydration, but that's it. But I needed to go out and get fucked. After the dumb ass day I had it was just what the doctor ordered. What Doctor Norfy ordered. That's right. I'm a doctor now, bitches! Huzzah!

If you guys are looking for a ****ed up movie check out Sucker Punch. I just watched it. The story line is pretty weird, kinda basic, but the action scenes are pretty amazing. Its a bunch of hot chicks kicking ass with machine guns and samurai swords. It was like watching a real, live anime. Cool ****. Woah, look at all them asterisk thingys.

Been working my ass off with 6 day work weeks lately...I'm the only one in the place who can do my job so when something goes wrong, I gotta be there to fix it. Job security, I guess, but it's really tiring, and has my sleep schedule all ****ed up. FFFFUUUUCKKKED up. Screw you asterisks! XD Ugh I do get the 4th off, at least, and I still get paid for it, and I guess my paycheck has benefited from this, but I'm so exhausted. I hate getting tired before midnight on Friday nights now, I used to be wide awake until like 5 am, and slept til like 1 or 2. Now I'm tired at 10 and wake up at 8 without my alarm! HATE! ...today is an exception, a raging mood is screwing with the screwiness. EDIT ....SUCCESS!
