I had my PT appointment this morning, and it went really well. She asked me some questions, moved my legs and feet around, had me do some back and side bends, and ding! She had the problem all figured out. I swear, physical therapists are magicians.
Basically, the issue is that my feet pronate, and some of my hip muscles aren't strong enough, so my knees are getting pushed inward and it's causing much hurting. The part of my knee that hurts is where a lot of leg muscles attach, and my quads also aren't firing entirely right, so we'll be working on my hips and quads, and also fixing my foot/leg/hip alignment. She also gave me some localized anti-inflammatory treatment on my knee to help it feel less cranky. W00t!
On a related note, I don't know what it is, but my therapist explained all the techniques and equipment she was using on me, and the way the various body parts tied together, and I just found it ridiculously fascinating. I almost wonder if I should've tried out an Exercise and Movement Science major in college, except that most of the EMS majors I met were total douchebags. XD
Anyhoo, this weekend somehow became completely nuts, when I thought it was going to be chill! Bah. Going to a launch party for Dibspace.com at Urban Grind in NE later today, so you should drop in between 4pm-7pm, if you're interested in finding out about a cool bartering/alternative-currency web project.
Tomorrow is The Job's annual picnic, and I'm supposed to take some photos there. Unfortunately, the weather forecast looks not-so-good, so that could *really* suck. Must employ the Ziploc freezer bags for protection. Sunday, we have an event shoot that'll take most of the day, so that'll pretty much kick my ass. But, at least the venue and performances will be cool!
Might have some free time tomorrow night, assuming I'm not dead-tired/asleep/whatever. ;)
