I tore my ACL and medial meniscus cartilage in my left knee playing soccer. I opted not to have surgery and instead rehabbed it. I was running up to 30 minutes as well as cycling and everything felt normal until one day shortly before Xmas I woke up with a swollen knee. It never got better, so I finally went through with surgery to reconstruct the ACL and repair the damaged cartilage. This is my story.

Day 32 - Clem Snide and Heligoats and my knee. Oh my!
I seem to be on a string lately with concerts. Maybe the music is helping my knee heal (if it's good enough for stroke patients, it's good enough for me). Last night, I saw Clem Snide. I first stumbled upon this band when I was in grad school at the Medical College of Virginia many, many moons ago, and I've been a fan ever since. There's something both sad and beautiful and brilliant about their music that speaks to me. They look like this:
Heligoats, which consists of one guy, Chris Otepka, was the opening act. I'd never heard Chris, but I liked his songs. And apparently so did NPR. You can learn more about him and hear one of his songs for free here.
