As Usual, My Timing Sucks
My knee has decided to pick now to fall apart. Two days before I leave on vacation. It gives tinges when I walk and has tried to give out twice. It doesn't hurt a lot but its just not right enough to make me nervous and twitchy whenever I have to use it.
Did I mention I leave on vacation in TWO DAYS? The knee brace always goes with me on trips but it seems this time I will actually have to wear the damn thing. Which means I either have to take it off before going through security at the airport and on the ship or I'm going to have to ask to be hand scanned everywhere. Metal hinges and airport security - not a match made in heaven.
I really don't want to miss all the Mayan ruins on this trip. Sure, I can stay on the ship, hang out at the pool, get a massage at the spa, read a lot, stuff like that. But I really hope that I can go explore ruins and stuff even if I have to hobble around in my brace to do it. A vacation is still a vacation and I will gladly take the relaxation part of this trip. But if I have to give up the adventure part I'm going to be pissed.
Maybe I'll take my sketch book in case the most I can do is hobble to a good vantage point and then sit for a while. I definitely will not be doing any climbing on this trip, that's for sure.
Getting old sucks.
