Knees @ MindSay 
pain
I just did that same move at my fridge to get the water out for some pre bedtime sipping, and it sounded like the Rice Crispy Treat elves were throwing a rave in my knees. Granted I've had knee problems for about ten years now (I'm only in my early twenties), I'm use to that sound, but the my mind wandered...
And my Weather Powered Wrist was inaccurate for I think the first time today. The way it was hurting and popping incessantly I thought for sure that it was going to rain. And there was no rain. I would scold it, but I didn't want it to rain.
Man, entropy is a bitch.
I was sitting upstairs on the comp a little while ago and decieded it was 9 o'clock or so and I was getting the kids out of the hosue for a while!
They dont' have school today because they go to Catholic School and it is the Holy Day of Immaculant Conception of Mary! Yes I already got a phone call from Sister Frances (the one I made cry earlier this year)! See I didn't point anythign out to the kids and DeLaney figured somethign out on her own and went straight to Sister Frances and got really upset that Sister Frances didn't answer her!
DeLaney: Sister Frances? We have Friday off because Mary got pregnant with Jesus right?
Sister Frances: Yes, DeLaney.
DeLaney: Okay so if a woman is pregnant 9 months, then Jesus's birthday isn't in December or did she preform some magic and have him in less then 3 weeks after getting pregnant?
Sister Frances: Not now DeLaney will talk about it later!
Then I got a phone call:D I was laughing so hard. Leave it to my lil Pagan kids to fluster a Sister! I asked if she has an answer prepared for DeLaney and she didn't. I strongly suggested that she get one prepared for the next time she sees DeLaney and that I wanted to hear the response before she gave it to DeLaney. Father Mike called a little later and was laughign just as hard as I was. Explaining that he would be the one explainign things to DeLaney and that he would make sure that he ran things by me first before he said anything! I said you might as well pull Coltin in on your explanation cause he would be wondering also!
My toes are cold because I had the kids bundle up in snow pants and such to go outside for a morning of sledding and snow boarding. I was also debating if I started the van up and ice skate up my lane to see if I could make it up the hill. I still have to call my dad to see if he can pick me up to go get my truck from the mechanics! While we were getting ready to go outside my Uncle Gene showed up with a tractor and loader to clean out the drive and lane! Yay!
I will still have to ice skate up the hill he said but now I dont' have to worry about breaking through snow drifts on top of it! My Uncle Gene was laughign his ass off at what I was wearing out in the snow and cold though!
I have a black tshirt on that the sleeves are ripped off of (old basketball practice shirt), a pair of black sports shorts, a pair of softball socks that are white with black stripped, and a pair of chucks! And since I was outside I had a black butt and hip covering sweater on! My toes are cold now! While I was snappign pictures of the kids going down the hill and Uncle Gene climibing down and off the tracotr to come chitter he snapped a picture of me and my outfit on his camara phone! Said it was too goofy sexy to pass up not to email to Randy! I informed him Randy already saw my get up cause this is what I had on yesterday and used as night clothes! He started laughign when I said DeLaney snapped a picture and had me email it. He goes well this time you are in a sweater also with chucks he'll really appreciate it!
I am having my knee surgery before Christmas and come to find out my Uncle is having one of his knees replaced after Christmas! We are going to be gimps together! Plus we are going to go gang up on my dad about getting his knees replaced after his Guillium Barrers Syndrome is completely cleared up and his back is operated and healed up from!
But I strongly suggest if you go out in the cold and snow to at least have tennies on and not chucks! my toes are cold and sore now!
Could be a good way to describe the youthful knees of a green-tea devotee. Potent compounds in green tea -- EGCG and ECG -- may help battle cartilage and collagen destruction in arthritic joints. (see below ↓)

The EGCG and ECG found in green tea are powerful flavonoids known as catechins. Seems these particular catechins may help fight inflammation, as well as some of the underlying mechanisms at work in both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
A Better Plan?
Of course, drinking a few cupfuls of green tea each day is no guarantee against knee pain, so here are a few of the more tried-and-true methods for keeping knees healthy:
| • | Lose weight if you are overweight. Excess pounds raise your risk of knee arthritis. Check your BMI here. |
| • | Play it safe. A knee injury will triple your risk of knee osteoarthritis. When you exercise, take proper precautions to avoid getting hurt. |
| • | Strengthen your quads. Weak quadriceps muscles are associated with knee arthritis, so work them out regularly, along with your hamstrings and all of your other leg muscles. Try this workout program for exercises that use your own body as resistance. |
Feel something crunching and creaking in your knees? Early intervention can slow arthritis progression. Answer these questions to see if you could have osteoarthritis.
Ever wonder if your an idiot or not? Well I don't have to wonder anymore! I am an idiot! Two years since I have played ball, have bad knees with my right knee in a bad need of being total reconstructed, six months into being recently dignoised with Type 2 diabetes and what do I do? I slide into 3rd base and tore up my thigh!
Pretty isn't it! I am actually quite proud of that scrap or what ever you call it! I hit a line drive right down the middle of left and rover that hit the fence. Would have been nice if I had a base coach to tell me to run from second or third though! I am one of these folks that just run! I almost made it but rover on the other team had an arm and the third basemen just tagged my toe before I hit the base!
We lost both games but thankfuly my friend Cindy's dad is the coach and a back up player like her mom and he tells those who think they are going to be die hard about it to get over it and we are out there to have fun! They make fun of me cause I go out to catch with a cig in my mouth and I go up to bat with a cig in my mouth. I took my medicine on the way up so I couldn't have a beer but I still shouldn't have taken it!
I am glad I informed Cindy and her sister Shannon who also played that I was diabetic and I wasn't sure what playing softball would do to me. My body is use to the taekowndo and walking so my sugars don't fluxate when I do those things but I wasn't sure what they would do playing ball.
The first game I subbed and was a hitter. My knees swelled and were hurting but not so bad. The second game I caught and hit. That is when I got my hits and had to run the bases. I came home twice and tagged out once and the fourth time I was benched because between my knees and tearing up my thigh; another highschool classmate ran to the concession stand for me to grab me a candy bar. I started shaking and going woosy but I ended up having to hit because one of the back up wives that subbed in for me got out of batting order, I jacked it right at the second baseman and he threw me out. Nobody held it against me. Well one of the other highschool classmates of mine tried to get onery but my brother's highschool classmate that was pitching told her off and she went home early.
After the games, they asked me if I wanted to go to one of the all night reasturants but I thought it was best that I got the kids home to bed. Primo (the pitcher) and his wife followed me home to make sure I didn't have an accident because my sugars dropped so low and even after the candy bar they were low. It really wasn't out of their way instead of taking one highway home they just followed me and made a circle back to their hiway by 5 miles.
The first picture is of the purty scrap before a bath.
The second picture is of it all cleaned up after soaking for about a half hour. Sorry for an almost ass shot! That is what you get with an 8 year old taking the pictures!
I made my girl stay up to take the pictures and help me banage it up. I ended up taking a couple of my pain pills for my gallbladder because hell even sitting hurts! I took my sugars again and ended up having to eat the rest of my steak from last night and drinking another soda.
I am such an idiot! I am a 30 year old woman who is going to have to realize my body gave up on me over 3 years ago! Or I am just going to have to get my knee done and work my way back up from walking to running. If I play anymore ball I am going to have to cut the sliding out!
