When did getting up off the floor become such a freaking problem?

56. Since forever

I shattered my left knee—working as a unit commissioner for the Boy Scouts, of all things… When they say their insurance covers “everything,” they mean $1000 max.

But I digress. I had reconstruction and a looooong rehab. Have basically no cartilage left at this point, so I usually wear a hinged brace to keep the upper and lower halves walking in the same direction.

Needless to say, I haven’t been on the ground since (except for the time I fell on our effed-up driveway and miraculously didn’t break anything else except skin) because I can’t kneel and sure as hell can’t get up unassisted.

I obviously exist so that people like you can feel like you’re in pretty good shape in comparison.
