Healing through Magic & Community<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first time I hurt my knee I was in the Army. \u201cRunner\u2019s Knee\u201d they called it. Then there was tendonitis, and later a ligament strain. There would be many situations throughout my time in the military that continued to degrade my knee. Running on long distances on asphalt or concrete while wearing boots and carrying a ruck that weighed between 40 and 60 pounds didn\u2019t help. High training tempo with limited recovery time made things worse. Tack on standing for long periods of time with little rest during duty watches and patrols reinforced said injuries. The push-through-the-pain warrior ethos within the United States military turns minor tendon irritation or cartilage problems into chronic, crippling pain and changes a person\u2019s mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was decades ago now and seems an entirely different lifetime ago. I certainly am not the same person I was when it happened, and my knee isn\u2019t the same either. Now these many years later, the reckoning with repeated knee injuries has arrived. However, the journey to getting things fixed will take some time, energy, and resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of these is a lateral loading brace that as of the writing of this post, has not been fully integrated into daily life here #OnTheCovenstead. The prosthetics experts contend it\u2019s a \u2018build up to best\u201d approach.The goal is that this brace gives me a bit more time before attending a total knee replacement surgery, since these types of operations don\u2019t happen on a normal trauma-induced surgery case. The short version: It may be a bit of time before I will be able to have knee-replacement surgery. This has been made more complicated by the fact \u2013one many of us have noticed since the COVID-19 Pandemic erupted \u2013 the current decline of employer-provided health insurance in the United States. Insurance doesn\u2019t mean covered expenses, as we know. Time to enact a plan.<\/p>\n\n\n
