OH My Aching Knee

About 3 months ago I was doing step aerobics at 5:30 am, not my most productive hour,
and apparently stepped on the step wrong twisting my knee.  It ached a bit but I thought nothing of it.  Later it started to ache at night so I decide to do some ice/heat therapy and use a brace while exercising. 
While cooking dinner one night I turned just right and I heard and felt a pop and click.  Not a good sign.
I had an MRI and sure enough had a medial meniscus tear.  I had arthroscopic knee surgery to repair this pain on Wednesday.  It has been a rough couple of days but hopefully I will be back to my routine in no time. 
So the lesson to be learned here is two fold: 
 Be completely awake before you do step aerobics.
And it does not pay to cook dinner!
Enjoy your day!
