You'd think I was a playground with all my mood swings

My emotions have been all over the place lately. I'm coming to grips with the realization that I will never walk quickly or (probably) without some kind of a limp again; I may never walk a long distance without pain again; going down stairs will never be easy again; and walking as a form of exercise is now off the table completely. The damn knee stiffens up if I sit too long, which will make long flights very amusing.

*sigh* sorry to be such a whiner.
