grrr stupid meatsack

[serinde]

My knee was getting markedly better, so I thought I would walk to the river today, and not push things by attempting to run. And I was happily traipsing along until the block between First and York, where there was the now-familiar *twinge* followed by the even-more-familiar stabbity pain somewhere behind my kneecap. Which does not come on every step, oh no, that would be too simple and perhaps avoidable; no. It hits randomly every third to tenth step, or longer, and doesn't seem to have any direct correspondence to exactly how I am stepping.

It's been indicated to me that I have control-freak issues. My reactions to the vagaries of my body suggest that perhaps this is accurate. But: is it too much to ask that the stupid thing work as advertised ?

Would new cushier sneakers help? If it had been feeling better, then all of a sudden not, it makes me think that maybe the shoes you were wearing today were not good ones for you at this time.

Actually, I changed into padded running sneakers instead of the decorative flats I had been wearing for that very reason.

But, this has been one of the hallmarks of this entire episode: nothing nothing nothing OW STAB OW OW OW, repeat ad nauseam.
