PCL

Currently listening to: The Killers - Andy, You're a Star

So you've probably heard me bitching about my knee lately. Well, atleast if you were my father or old roommates helping me move from my FIFTH STORY APARTMENT building on Sunday. Every step was a wince, whimper, moan, or complaint in general. There were 107 steps up to my old apartment. 107 up, 107 down, repeat. It sucked.

Apparently, when I slipped on ice while hiking Mt. Madison memorial day weekend, I hit my knee pretty hard. It didn't even hurt the first few days and I thought nothing of it. However, it's been hurting like hell for the past week+.

I went to the doctor's office this morning and he checked it out. Apparently I tore my PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament). It's the one right behind the ACL and is usually hurt when you hit your knee while bent (which I did). If you want to read about the awesomeness that I'm experiencing, read this page, it's pretty informative.
