I hate you.

I had one knee done Sept 5. I've always been able to bend to 120 but extension has hovered at 4-8%. Grrrrrr.

I know one of the problems is I'm not in the best of shape due to a birth defect in my right hip.

But I know with continued physical therapy and my beloved ice (I still have swelling, can't take ibuprofen) I'm be right as rain soon enuf.

(I don't really hate you, I guess as hard as I've worked at it, it must just be envy and I was expecting it to be like hip replacement which was a breeze but I was 25 years younger)
