Yes, it’s an old joke, but as soon as I told RT that I had hurt my knee earlier today, he said I must have an ACLU injury.  Ha! Ha!  I laughed.  RT’s corny, but I enjoy his humor.

It DOES hurt like crazy when I put any kind of strain on my knee - as in bending it or stretching it out - basically any movement at all.  I remember when it happened.  I was bending down and I felt it pull on my knee - but I wanted to finish whatever I was doing, and so I didn’t stop.  I don’t even remember what I was doing - tying my shoelaces, maybe.  But when I stood up, I realized that perhaps I should not have so quickly dismissed that initial warning pain.

RT and I flew down to my mother’s this evening in order to attend a family funeral tomorrow.  The plane trip was not very comfortable since it is RT’s plane and it is very small and there was no room to stretch out my leg.  And the pain has gotten progressively worse this evening. 

So I’ve been researching ACL injuries.  The diagram above is one thing I’ve found.  I have no idea if I have an ACL injury.  I just know my left knee hurts.

Perhaps tomorrow I will wake up and it will be much better, and within a few days it will be completely back to normal.  Yes, that is definitely what will happen.
