My Knees are Singing

Monday 28 July 2008 @ 7:26 am

Right now I’m down  86 pounds. Let me hear an Amen, sisters and brothers!

80+ pounds ago, I had really bad knee pain. When I would step up onto the sidewalk or step up onto the bus, I would place my hand on my knee to keep it from buckling and try to lessen the pain.

A few days ago I went to step up onto the curb and out of habit, I placed my hand on my knee and Voila! No pain! What’s so funny about this is my knee pain went away quite a few months ago. Why I remembered it and thought I was going to have it when I stepped up on a curb, I don’t know. It’s funny how the body remembers pain even long after it’s gone.
