I'm walking with a cane now

Due to an occurrence that I cannot fully describe on this blog, I took a soft tissue injury to my left leg. This is bad news for several reasons. My left leg was my "good leg" and never had any joint issues. I tend to favor that leg as my right leg has had knee and hip issues for over a decade.

What's odd is that my knee has turned tricky. I can't tell if the next step might be a bad one and my knee might give out. For instance, I stepped off the bus yesterday morning and as my left foot hit the pavement my knee gave out and I would've collapsed had I not quickly grabbed the door. Similar situations repeated all day, especially anytime I was going down stairs.

I was told that despite showing no apparent signs of injury, no swelling or bruising, this is a soft tissue injury and will heal in time. I hope not too much time. In the meantime I'm hobbling around with a fucking cane. I'll keep you all posted.
