went back to the doctor for a routine checkup on my progress. I sat there on the moderately comfortable, dull, paper covered, table and he gave me very simple instructions. Put one foot in front of the other-- something so simple, something I had taken for granted for some many years like everyone else.

seventh grade I started to do competitive swimming and I loved it. Until I started to figure out that there was something wrong with my knees and it was not runners’ knees. As I swam and walked I could feel my knees popping and snapping. I went to a doctor and we did every nonsurgical option there was to try and make this problem go away but nothing would work.
