Chesney's Coming to Town

Sorry for the late post, whoever you are. I just got back from an adventure across town... we picked a terrible night to do so. Kenny Chesney was having his almost annual summer concert tonight and town was FULL to the brim with drunken Pittsburghers. The air literally was scented with the smell of beer. There were people walking on the sides of the highway, and I counted at least twenty cops over the course of the drive.

Anyways, today's topic is:
Pain.


For about the past week or so, my knee has been in such excruciating pain. It locks in either the bent or straightened position and it doesn't seem to like going back and fourth between the two. I have no idea what is wrong with it. The only thing I can possibly think of, is when I hyper-extended it back in high school. I should have gotten the surgery then to correct the messed up cap, but I was too chicken to do so. I guess that's why it's acting up so badly now.

I'm normally very good with pain, but this is just annoying. Sitting in the car for hours with my legs bent and pushed up against the dash board (I have long legs) was killing me! Even as I sit here with my laptop on my lap (who'da thunk it?) is starting to prickle my knee with pain. I have no idea what to do about this. Surgery would be the smart move and would probably prevent future damage, but I can't afford it.

I just graduated this past spring, my loans are going to start rolling in.

I live alone, so I foot all of my expenses myself.

I work two jobs that I just can't ask for leave from unless something bad happens (ex: when I broke my foot.)

I dunno guys, I just feel like it's hopeless. I just want to wake up one day and hope that it stops hurting... wishful thinking huh?



Sometimes wishes come true, right?
