Today I've learned a valuable lesson about the lower part of our body -- specifically -- the knees. Unfortunately, it is at the expense of my friend. He has again (yes, again) damage his meniscus. I'm no doctor so I can't explained what this is in detail. Basically, it is located between the two bones that form the knees. It acts as a stabilizer, and shock absorber. Moreover, it provides the lubrication needed for the two bones (femur and tibia). See! I told you -- I'm no doctor -- if you want to know more -- Mr. Google can certainly provide you with the details. Check out the image below too.
Now -- on with the valuable lesson -- simple -- you can't walk (at least painlessly) when your knees are damaged. You can't run either. Nor play soccer (and any game that requires the lower part of the body). Come to think of it -- there would be plenty of cool things that you won't be able to do.
For my colleague and friend, I hope for the best. I hope you will still be able to do all the stuff I mentioned above. I hope the injury is just minor and it won't require that much repairing.
Get better soon!
