And Anita, you are right, my inner critic doesn’t have a medical degree! Thats a good point, but somehow he also got backup from outside sources. My mother at one point (and don’t remeber when) said “well your father (doctor) allways said knees never heal”. Even back then I tried not too give this too much credit, but it rhymed in my language, so it sticked. And then there was a doctor that I saw about a cold after the swimming incident and asked for advice and she said “well those orthopedic doctors usually don’t help much”. I tried not to google knee topics too much to not get more input like this.

Edit: Also I just reread my last post “I am not a shy person who never asks for stuff” is maybe not true, it can be difficult in many cases, to the point that I usually widdle my way around asking. I guess what I wanted to say instead was that I and not an innocent wallflower.
