What a day.

Today I went from having a fabulous day

to crying my eyes out.

You see, for the past month my knee has been locking up,

and kinda sorta popping out (or so I thought it was popping out).

After visiting an orthopedic doctor and having an MRI

I was told that nothing was wrong and

physical therapy was prescribed.

I said I would just work my knee on my own,

because I'll be honest, my family doesn't have the extra money

lying around for PT.

Today, I was at my grandma's house.

My knee hadn't been hurting, and it hadn't done anything weird

for a week.

I guess I moved my knee wrong,

and I heard *pop*

and then I couldn't move.

I tried, and I tried.

But it wasn't happening.

I sat there, rubbing it, hoping something would help.

Nothing.

I was finally able to stand, but that was all I could do.

In my mind I said many silent prayers,

and kept having the thought to ask for a blessing.

I asked several people to say a prayer for me,

and eventually just asked my dad for a blessing.

After the blessing I let go,

I bawled.

I was in pain, and I just wanted to move.

By some miracle, I was able to hop down my grandma's stairs

and out to her truck and off to the ER I went.

After having the doctor look at it,

and having x-ray's just to make me feel better,

it was concluded that there is nothing wrong,

just a weak knee.

Physical Therapy was basically demanded

and out the door they sent me,

I still couldn't move my leg.

I bawled some more, and said more silent prayers.

I got home, and as I stood at the bottom of the two flights of stairs

I have to go up to get to my room,

I turned to my mom and said,

"I just want a miracle to happen, I need one. I won't make it up these stairs."

I decided the only way I was going to make it up

was to crawl/hop up.

I kneeled on my left knee (the bad one) and then hopped up with my right foot.

Well, the kneeling on my bad knee did the trick.

I heard a lovely little *pop* again,

and I could walk.

It was indeed a miracle.

A small one, but a miracle.

*Thanks to "Life As We Know It" I had this song...

stuck in my head the whole time I was at the hospital. But just the chorus that says..

"Everything will be alright now, alright now." Great song to have stuck in your head, huh!
