Patella Femoral Syndrome....

Well that's what they call whats wrong with my knees. When I was younger I used to play or train for netball about 5 nights a week and that started these issues but as soon as I stopped playing completely they got better because I stopped doing any real physical activity (which is why I'm fat now!)
I ended up get special knee braces made which helped a lot while I was still playing netball but since it has been years they have been lost so I'm going to have to buy some more at $96 a brace I'm bloody glad I'm going back to work!! I hadn't really thought anything of the pain I was getting in my knees when I was sleeping but it all makes sense now. So no more running or squatting (which makes siting on the toilet hard) just swimming and walking.
I donated blood yesterday and got a cool keyring that they forgot to give me last time it has my blood type on the back of it. If anyone reading this has thought about giving blood please do the number to call to make a appointment is 131495 it a good way to find out your blood type,your hemoglobin levels and best bit you get a chocolate when you are done plus a cool donor card.
Anyway best go for a walk in this rain before it gets any worse

Injuries suck! At least you are going to keep up with the walking and swimming. Was catching up on your other posts and I know what you mean about the mind journay. I'm in a really good headspace now compared to before. Good luck for this weeks WI
