I’ve always thought I was not a very active person and
have struggled to try to meet the “recommended 30 minutes of exercise daily”
goal. But I’ve found out that I really am more active than I thought.

I found out the hard way. I have a torn meniscus in my
knee and will be having surgery by the time you read this blog post.
And the
crazy thing is, I didn’t tear it doing work or exercise, it just tore from time
and use. I guess sitting in six-year-old size chairs and squatting down next to
little desks for so many years took its toll.
Joni Mitchell sings in her song Big Yellow Taxi : “...you
don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone…” So true.

I didn’t realize how much I walked and biked until I
couldn’t. I used to walk my dog a couple
miles a day- sometimes twice a day. Poor dog, she’s getting so bored. I took
her in the car the other day and she was so excited to go somewhere she ran
circles around my car.

Tim gave me a great bike carrier for Christmas, and since
this injury started before biking season, I haven’t used it at all!

I’m ready to have this surgery done. I’m ready to heal my
knee and get back to my regular activities. I’ll probably make up for lost time
this summer and spend the rest of it on a bike path!
Wish me luck. Say a prayer for speedy recovery!
Until next time,
Be Good to Yourself.
