man, nothing has destroyed me this year like this meniscus tear 

chronic illness, a life threatening condition, a breakup, and a death in the family

and none of them have gutted me like this

i'd rather kill the radio and listen to the rain hit.

What are your restrictions?  If you need any tips for one-legging it, I did it for 10 weeks this year after a tibial plateau fracture that also included a meniscus tear.

Devotional polytheist living a monastic lifestyle centered on curiosity, simplicity, and joy.  Exploring the intersection of technology and spirituality.

im not quite one-legged (just a fat brace for now), but a very large part of my identity has been rooted in outdoor activities (biking, climbing, hiking, dog stuff, etc)

orthopedic appointment on tuesday where I'll hopefully get a full report on the damage

Oof. I feel this. It’s hard when you build your identity around being active in an effort to be healthy and then life decides you don’t get to be either of those things 😩. I’m still clinging on to my old identity but it means living with chronic pain.
