Knee. todays WoW story

by Duf Anything and Everything

I just left the knee doc.  I got the first of three shots in my right knee.  I was nervous about it but it wasn’t too bad.  First they spray the injection point with freezing spray, then they go in with a big needle of numbing stuff and then finally they inject the fluid.  The entire thing took all of a minute, maybe.  I had the sweats just because of the needle thing but the pain was minimal. 

We went over the MRI results.  There is a tear in the meniscus but it is below the surface, which is a good thing because it will probably heal.  It also showed thinning of the cartilage in the knee, just like my right one, a precursor to arthritis.  I am hoping I will be able to skate by without getting it scoped.  However the MRI confirms that the joint just is getting worn out and if I decide to continue to abuse it with impact activities I am going to accelerate the process.  Right now I am ok with concentrating on my gym work instead of running/volleyball.  Hopefully I can be ok with that.  I’m not very good at accepting not being able to do what I once did.

I have been leveling my mage and to help that process I brought my level 60 rogue out to Tanaris to help him complete some quests. Normally my characters spend most of the time between level 40 and 50 out in Tanaris. So I am going around doing my thing.  I see some horde players but don’t bother with them, not looking to start a fight, just minding my own business.  Well of course some asshole horde decides to jump me.  I die.  Tanaris is a big area and I was a long way from the graveyard so I had to walk forever to get my body back.  So now it was on.  Instead of spending the time completing quests with my mage now my sole mission is seeking revenge on my attacker.  I ride and ride, looking for him with no luck.  Along the way I spot several lower level horde players who unfortunately had to pay for the sins of the horde that attacked me, they all die by my hand.  I never did find the level 60 tauren hunter that killed me but spent about a half hour dropping his fellow horde players.  It’s easy to go off on these tangents in the game.
