Hello Everyone!
So it’s been sometime since I wrote my last post – two days. That’s not very long ago, granted, and I wouldn’t have been writing this but for the recent spate of bad luck that has messed up my schedule a bit. It invariably means that my posts will get held up some more. So I thought I’d better inform you all about why there’s radio silence on my end.
It’s because of two clunkers in my life, both of which decided to descend upon me at the same time. The first clunker is my old faithful – my laptop, which decided to die on me, JLT. I have no idea why! This has undeniably soured my mood, specially because Husband Dearest (hope he’s reading this) won’t lend me his swanky laptop and won’t stop hogging the desktop (see how greedy men can be when it comes to electronics?). I have no choice but to wait till my laptop is repaired or, worse still and God forbid, I have to buy a new one.
Then there’s the other clunker – my knee, that just won’t let me be. You see, a couple of months back I injured myself running on the treadmill and was diagnosed with chondromalacia patella, which roughly translates to a weak knee cartilage, which required me to abandon half of the activities that normal people undertake in life – running, squatting, kneeling, sitting cross-legged or with my legs dangling, walking briskly, walking, in fact, whatnot. Basically, I felt like I had aged 30 years or more in the span of those 3 months that I had this excruciating pain! Physiotherapy returned me to health very, very slowly, but essentially this problem will never go away, and on some days, it just… well, gets back to being a clunker. Like for the past 2 days.
Therefore, my apologies to you all for being MIA, especially to readers of the new Novella – This is not a Love Story. I’m trying to get back in shape ASAP because I really hate being bed ridden. But in the meantime you could visit my old blogs. There’s plenty to read beginning from how all this began 😊
Please pray that my old clunker sputters back to life. I really love it and don’t want to invest in another laptop. And if you have any info to share on knee problems, you know where to find me.
Till later,
Pradita ❤️❤️❤️
We all need a clunker now & then, just to keep grounded. Good luck. Daria. xx

Even I’m suffering from similar -not same condition. The worst part is that these are non regenerative -no chances of reverting back to original condition. So change of lifestyle and habits is the only option. Sad truth!
Here’s hoping things get better for you Pradita!

My problem is slightly different, I’m advised not to undertake outdoor adventure activities, which is what I love. So looking for some solutions to settle the problem and trying to find some new ways to keep me going. 🙂

Oh I see. I guess it’s because outside terrain is too unpredictable for motion. My doc has advised me not to go on uneven terrain either. I hope you do get around the problem. All the best 😊

You got it right. Uneven surface puts unnecessary pressure. I have been reading a lot about headway made using stem cell in osteoarthritis. Looks promising. You can explore it too! 🙂

I somehow managed to not fall off the running area of treadmill, and after reading this I am glad I did manage.
Get well soon Pradita, and I hope you don’t need to spend super-extra bucks in buying the new machine.

I was actually wondering about the novella yesterday. But well, your being healthy is a matter of far higher priority so get well soon.
I suffered knee injuries three times in 6 months in 2015-16 (did a post on that too). I had to cut down on just about anything about movement, although I did attend office. I think your double whammy makes things harder for you. However, you can take this as an opportunity to be prolific with your handset. The android app is largely as good as the website so you should find posting from that fun too. I do most of my posts from the phone itself.
So get fit soon and maybe write the next few posts from the phone. All the best!
The writing is coming! 😝

Thanks a lot for your wishes and I do hope you recovered from your knee injury completely (please tell me you did… I’ve met NO ONE who has returned to full knee functionality). As for the Android app, I agree that for most things the app is good enough… But not for writing posts. First of all my typing over the phone is very very unreliable… I’ll type one thing but the other appears on screen. I spend double the amount typing and then correcting things. Secondly, editing and appearance is ahuge issue since the app is ill-equipped for that. So no, I prefer a laptop or desktop. Hopefully my old laptop will be repaired soon and I’ll bring out the next part of the ongoing novella, which is already penned down on paper.

I did return to full functionality. I twice suffered meniscus injuries and in between I suffered from a grade I MPFL injury. I was back to full fitness two months after each injury.
As for the app, it does take some time getting used to the typing on the phone (if you don’t do it already) but once you get the taste of it, it’s far better than typing on a computer. Far better!
Still, let’s hope your lappy gets repaired and repaired soon. Till then, you do have the phone, right?

Oh god! Those are terrible injuries to have. I have no idea how you returned to full functionality. Physio? And as for the phone, you can’t convince me otherwise. I’ve tried typing several times and I just can’t get comfortable with it, specially when it comes formatting. 😊 😊 😊

No physio. I took rest and took care not to let my condition worsen. And I was lucky they weren’t really serious injuries.
You have a lot of free time at the moment, I suppose. What’s the harm in trying to get used to the phone? Maybe something good WILL come out of this recurrence of your injury.
