NOTE: Last week when the transmission went out in my car (still no word from the dealership about what they are gonna do for us) in Hilton Head, SC, a very nice man helped push the Buick LeSabre out of the middle of the rush hour traffic. As I was pushing and steering the car with the Good Samaritan pushing from behind, the car picked up a LOT of momentum and was on a beeline for a small diner that was closed at the time. Freaking out, I jumped inside the moving vehicle to slam on the brakes and I busted my right shin. When I got back to the hotel room, there was a gash right smack dab in the middle of my leg where I bumped it on something to get inside the car. But something else happened to my left knee that I didn't realize at the time...until today. OH...MY...GOSH...it hurts! Walking was okay, but bending my knees to pick something up off the floor made me aware of a slight strain. OUCH! I thought about getting a knee brace for my volleyball game tonight, but I did okay. It's just a slight twinge, but I'm keeping an eye on it and not doing anything stupid. Lesson learned about pushing a car out of the middle of the road next time! By the way, still no diet sodas for the past three days...haven't wanted one. WOO HOO!
