Another milestone this year, went to a physical therapist for the first time, to have a look at my right leg.
Her diagnosis is patellar tendonitis, a condition which is treatable with stretching exercises.
She also recommended better shoes, so after trying on almost a dozen pair at the discount outlet today, I bought sneakers that look like old lady lace-up shoes; thus, I can get away with wearing them to work.
I’ve been doing the exercises and definitely feel the effect: yesterday I couldn’t straighten the leg and today I can.
It will make me very happy if this is all that is required to fix this problem. Once you need leg surgery, they might as well take you out behind the barn and shoot you.
