Patella femoral malalignment. Doesn’t that sound great? I swear, those are my three most favorite words ever.

Let me explain. Since mid August I’ve been having knee problems. I’ve been in almost constant pain. This Tuesday though, I found out what was wrong with my knees. I have patella femoral malalignment! My patella and femur don’t fit right together. This is caused by an anteverted femur.

I feel a little weird being this excited about this, but this entire situation was made so much worse by not knowing what was wrong with me. There were so many things that I was tested for or my doctors thought this was, like lyme disease, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and reactive arthritis. I’m so happy to finally know what is wrong with my knees.

Basically now I do exercises to make my legs stronger. I’ve been doing physical therapy, but my physical therapist didn’t have my diagnosis yet, so it turns out that the exercises I’ve been doing actually aren’t good for what is wrong with my knees. There is a minor surgery that will relive some of my pain, but I’m not really thinking about getting it now. Then, there is a major surgery I could get to correct my legs entirely where the break my bones and reset the correctly, but I’m not in so much pain where I’d even consider getting that done.

I’ve got my SAT subject tests tomorrow, I’m taking US History and Literature. Now I’m going to go catch up on some blog reading.

For the past week I have been trying to set up posting by email. Guess what? It hasn’t worked. Every day I’ve tried to set it up, but it hasn’t worked, then I’ve just given up on setting it up and posting for that day.

This was all inspired by the fact that I got a Blackjack 2. I wanted to set up the post by email so I could update from anywhere, this would allow me to update more.

Nothing of interest has really been happening, and looking at this site is just angering me because I cant set up this stupid emailing posts, so that’s all from me.

Babysitting went pretty well last night. We spent a large portion of the time drawing. When the kids I babysit are drawing I like to draw with them, but I have a hard time thinking of stuff to draw, so I always seem to draw something from television or movies. I’ve drawn the yellow car from Death Proof and Willy from Free Willy (we had just watched it). I thought I would share some of the drawings I have.

This is my interpretation of Gojira from when I babysat a few weeks ago:

Here is my drawing of (from left to right) Marshall, Lily, Barney, Robin, and Ted from How I Met Your Mother:

For this one I had limited colors and none of the crayons had points, so it didn’t turn out as well as I liked.

This is a quick post because I’m watching The Namesake, and I’m not paying enough attention.

About ten minutes ago my SAT prep class started. Guess where I am? Home. My usual train isn’t running, so I had to take a bus to another train, but the bus never came. Okay, the bus probably did get there eventually, but I was probably going to be thirty minutes late, and if you’re thirty minutes late to the SAT prep you have to go to a make up class. I decided why bother, and I turned around and went home. Now I have to spend my Friday (one of the only two days I don’t have to do something after school) at a make up class. Grrr…

I went on my interview for a summer internship at a publishing company yesterday. I think it went pretty well. I got a few free books which is always awesome. I should be hearing back from them sometime next week. As much as I would love to do nothing for the summer, this sounds like it could be really fun and helpful.

I’ve got some time to kill now before I go to babysit. I think this is the perfect time to start revising the short film script from the other day.

My knees have been really bothering me, and I’ve been really busy. But, things have been much better for the past few days. My knees are hurting less, and I’m beginning to feel more like I have all the stuff I need to do under control.

Yesterday I wrote a short film. The film is about two and a half minutes long. It is going to need a few revisions, and when I revise the script it will probably get a little longer.

Tomorrow I have an interview for an internship over the summer.

I’m dead tired, so I’m going to go to sleep.
