#Republicans #MAGA :

#knee #benders

You are going to lose your (democratic AND economic) sole (if ever)

What side of the History were you when this happened in the #US ?
This is the question your grandsons will ask some day.

It's been a long, slow slide, so it's not always obvious how much #Mozilla has abandoned the primacy of the #user's wants over the companies #spying on and #advertising to us.

But I'm pretty sure we passed a #knee in the curve not long ago. How do I know?

Because now, every time I get a "a new version of #Firefox is available, click to #update" dialog, I shudder in dread, and after applying the update I go through the entire preferences/settings to double-check that they haven't added any more user-hostile #antifeatures garbage (cryptocurrency, blockchain, "#privacy-preserving ad #surveillance", "AI", on and on the garbage they've tried cramming into Firefox).

User's shouldn't dread simple #software updates. At least not open-source users.

But here we are.

Whenever I stand up to sprint on my bike I sometimes get an immediate sharp #pain in my #knee, like a knife. It’ll persist for a few hours when that happens. I don’t know what that is. I can run for up to 3 hours and bike even longer sitting down with my knees being entirely unaffected, but if I make one tiny powerful movement standing up the bike, it’s basically over for a while.

I cannot find anything online on that topic. #cycling #running

I know so many people who have had #knee replacement surgery that did not work out well ... this seems like a very promising alternative: https://wapo.st/3MOkr0E

Meanwhile on the #Medical front, some very good initial news for those with problem joints; hips, shoulders, knees, ankles, elbows and wrists - or just anyone suffering from cartilage degradation due to age or disability. #Orthopedic #Knee #joints #cartilage #biomedical #BiomedicalResearch

#Knee update if anyone cares: sports doc found a lot of fluid in the knee, most likely from a small tear in the #meniscus. Eh oh.

I got a biiiiiiiiig needle to draw out the fluid, and a cortisone injection. I'm still sore, but the swelling has almost completely vanished, and I can move so much better now. I see the doc again in 2 weeks!

If you need a sports doc rec in the Lawrenceville, NJ area, lmk!

So the pain behind my right knee that goes away for a few weeks and reappears when using stairs just sometimes (but not when bicycling) is mild osteoarthritis. Glad I know what it is now so I can target exercises that don't cause me future pain there. Probably would have been much worse if I hadn't bicycled for transportation the past thirty years.

Recently started #PhysicalTherapy for my #knee and I've been really grateful for the exercises.

Early in the exercises, but it's amazing how much knowledge these professionals have about mobility and how muscles/tendons should NOT be that tight.

I got a runner's knee #diagnosis #today. I have the strongest possible #artificial #joint in my left #knee. It was chosen because the posterior cruciate ligament was torn, and the knee would not have stabilized without this model. On the left side, the tendons are now irritatedand and tight. The reason is the stiffness of the model. This artificial joint does not flex at all laterally. It's a strong but "dummy knee" said the physiotherapist. I need to rest, take Burana and go to the massage.

My left #knee has its 1 year birthday #today. #bionicwoman #suomifinland #finland #suomimastodon

Hurt my knee while cleaning up some old ice because I didn't notice the thin sheet of new ice next to it.

Stupid +2°C weather always making trouble. Would've been better if it had stayed minus.

Looks like a damaged (not ruptured) patellar tendon (I probably know more about knees than your average GP thanks to having two poorly designed ones that keep doing things like that).

Guess I'll be limping for a while. Oh well, not much to do in winter anyways.
