I have about 20 minutes to write before “family chat night” begins. It’s Sunday night, the Sunday of our Hidden Valley’s Club Championship. I do not know who the club champ is, but I do know who it is not, and sadly, that is me.
I didn’t even finish the thing, withdrawing from the tournament this morning with a quick phone call to Tom. I have tweaked my right knee somehow, so playing another 18 holes could have wrecked it even more. I have some theories about how it ended up this way, so I will defer to making a list.
Playing volleyball last weekend-I chased down errant passes as the setter, and sometimes I had to get really low to get under the ball. I also did some jumping and blocking, so that put some strain down there.
Our new car-The new Escape has my knee in a different position for driving than the old Sienna did. The angle is funny, so my knee feels bunchy when I have to switch from the gas to the brake. I am sure I can adjust that, though.
My newer swing style-Dana taught me to point my toes out more than I ever have before in order to make a wider turn. When I load my right leg now, my knee is in a different position, and that is also a strain.
TRX workouts-With my feet suspended in straps, while lying on my back, with my bottom up in the air, my knees have some pressure on them, especially when I have to bend my knees to move my legs back and forth repeatedly.
All of these things contributed, in my opinion. I hope it heals up as quickly as it came on. It’s time for chat now. I will pick this up where I left off after the chat is over.
