Post-Op Day 38: The Bend and Snap

Sorry about the self photog. All the kids are playing. My doctor told me to exercise the leg using routine ordinary exercises to gain strength and flexibility. As you, my loyal groupies, know that my great brain can't do anything routine. So I've invented a new move to up the ante. Not surprised the least, this stroke of artistry and genius has brought Hollywood knocking at my door.

For all of you who are fans of the movie Legally Blonde, you'll recall a method that ladies use to attract men, called the "bend and snap" (aka "BAS"). I've altered the move considerably and perform my own version of the bend and snap. It'll probably catch on like wildfire once it is released.

The move consist of holding the knee parallel to the ground and then performing a "karate kid" snap kick, straightening out the knee and then pulling it back as far as I can. In public my BAS garners plenty of attention. The crowd consists of mainly young ladies vying for spots to checkout the eye candy, intermixed with MA (that's martial arts to people in the know) masters who just want to admire my sweet moves. Usually video cams, iphone cameras and the local news are catching the action. This incredibly awe-inspiring move helps strengthen my massive quads and it builds up my pumped hamstring. I'm in talks to star in the new movie Karate Kid 5- Too Legit to Quit. It's based on my life story showcasing an older yet equally juvenile karate loving kid who becomes the master of the universe. Arnold loved my treatment and is quitting politics to be in my film. I'm trading my crutches and staples for a Hollywood star. You see Rusty, it about turning lemon into lemonade. Thus endth the lesson.

My knee is losing the scar tissue which is great. I have more flexibility now although the photo doesn't show my max flex because I was holding the camera and my knee at the same time. Technical difficulties. My knee has felt almost normal the last two days, except I can't really run. Running is normal by the way. Dr. Kim tells me I still have about 3 more weeks before I can really start to rehab the knee.
