So, how have you guys been? I'm all right, I suppose. I haven't been skating. My knees are giving out. I finally went to see a sports doc and he said that my skate stance has caused my kneecaps to begin to turn inward, which has caused the muscles on the inside of my knee to just about stop working completely. The muscles on the outside of the knee are completely overworked, and the ones on the inside are completely weak and thus the pain whenever I try to use them.

I'm currently in physical therapy, which is rough going (ouch!) but I'm hoping it will help. I also plan to start riding my bike a lot more, indoors and outdoors (I just bought an indoor trainer stand) to speed the rehab along. I really don't know how much longer my on-skates derby career will last. We shall see. There's always reffing and I know there is always a spot for me on my team, in many capacities. Of course, today I am feeling positive, but sometimes when I'm watching everyone practice without me, it's all I can do not to break down and cry like a little baby.

Our home opener is coming up on April 14th and I'm so excited! Love bout season! You should come!

As for my depression, there are good days and there are bad days. I've had a medication adjustment and I think it's working! My good days are starting to outnumber the bad days. Fingers crossed. It doesn't hurt that spring has come very early, either. :) I hope you are well. What have you been up to?

Not a blast from the past, but today I really felt like seeing Mika dance around in his underwear. Sue me.
