The sucky stuff. My knee (I've had multiple surgeries on both knees for various injuries) started giving me problems a few weeks ago. I shrugged it off because I chalked it up to weather changes, since that has happened before. A few days later my knee stopped hurting and I felt a small pain in my back developing. I figured I was sleeping wrong. Over a week it slowly got worse. A few days ago my knee started to hurt again. Then it occurred to me. I was compensating my walk for the hurt knee which caused the back pain. When the back pain got bad enough I went back to my normal walk which retriggered the knee pain. Soooo, I've set up an appointment with my knee doctor. I suspect there is fluid build up, maybe loose cartilage and other fun stuff which means it's time to get some work done. Luckily last time I had such work down I was only on crutches just under a month.
The good/funny stuff. A few days ago Nick, my 3 1/2 year old son, was having a debate with mom about the necessity of cleaning up his toys. After the usual back and forth logic he finally says, "You are making annoying sense."
