One step back...

I knew I was pushing myself a little hard since my surgery, but today I think I took a major step back while I was taking a step up.

I was going up a flight of stairs and as I approached the top, I felt a sharp pain right above the knee and also a little bit to the inner side of the knee. It wasn't enough to make me collapse, but it sure was enough for me to look for a chair right away.

I toughed it out the rest of the day at work. When I came home I promptly found my place on the couch and put my leg up. Julie came home shortly and encouraged me to ice it down. I'm glad she didn't read me the riot act for not taking care of myself.

Not only am I upset that I may have set myself back physically, but I had to cancel going out tonight to a Saltdogs game with my friend Troy, who I haven't done anything with for months. That's what makes me feel really bad, that I let my friend down.
