As is biking, walking, sex, laughter. Leave the life-enjoying to the kids. When we hit middle age, we should just sit still and wait to die.

Dan, your story reminds me of what happened to my mom 17 years ago. She was playing basketball and bent her knee BACKWARDS on a concrete bench. You really gotta be careful. I hope you get better soon, though. : )

If you'd like, I can recommend a doc on First Hill who's really good with this sort of thing.
