After being sick my for a week and a half my knee wasn't bothering me at all, probably because I laid in bed not moving. I was also taking prednisone, which is a steroid that helps with inflammation. I started back on a good exercise routine last week and didn't have too many problems with my knee. All in all I think my knee is getting stronger and can handle more. However, I finally over did it. I upped the weight I used on my leg exercises on Sunday, and I was a little sore yesterday and today. My knee was still a little on the sore side today, but nothing out of ordinary.

This blog has evolved over a long period of time. I have decided to use it as a way to try and raise awareness about mental health. As this blog continues more of the posts will center around mental health and breaking the stigma associated with it.
