After 4 hours of tennis on wednesday my knees had something to say about it. I've never really experienced any kind of joint grief from a sports injury, but its that nagging pain that gets me in a bad mood.

My beloved fiesty maternal grandmother(and family) used to have serious knee problems. My younger brother and I would be in the backseat waiting while my mom would have to assist her into the car groaning. She would teeter on the first leg and then settle in and lift the other one in with her arms. At the time, we were too bratty to be empathetic. We thought the dramatic sound of it all was kind of funny. It wasn't, but it was funny when it happened to me yesterday. But it won't be funny again in 30 years.
