I truly admire your positive attitude. I believe a positive attitude is half the cure.

Been having some slight knee pain since Saturday. I think I went a little too hard with skating last Saturday because it didn't flare up until after I got back home and I was going upstairs about an hour or so later. It's dulled down considerably since, but it's still noticeable when I go upstairs or if I have to kneel down at work. Allergies haven't been terrible this year yet though, but I can definitely feel the existence of pollen lol.
At least I'm doing better mentally! Our old assistant store leader is more or less gone, and we have a new one that's training. She doesn't know everything yet, but so far, it's felt like a huge breath of fresh air.

Aw, have you tried icing the knee? Hope it feels better soon!
I haven't! It usually gets better with rest and relaxation, so I don't usually bother with it much. I had a knee brace for the days where the pain still bothers me and I have to go to work, but I ditched it because it didn't really do too much for me or stay in place. I plan on getting a new one later, maybe this weekend after the Saturday session.
Have you tried sports tape?
Not yet, but I have seen it around. I have a few different braces in my skate bag, a knee one included, that I can wear if things flare up in the middle of a session and I don't want to stop completely or I need the extra support, but I have yet to try tape.
I recently had cause to make my recent medical history available to an alternative medical practitioner. It focuses on major or ongoing events, prescribed medication and allergies. It runs to 94 pages 
It amuses me because in-spite of tick boxing a fair proportion of the medical dictionary, I'm still alive and mostly functional. My mental health is generally positive but on the one occasion I did visit a councillor I think I left the poor woman in need of counseling herself.
The way I view it is I'm alive, I hope to live a few more years and you can be sure I'll do my utmost to make those years count. Oh and f**k cancer, it has to be said 🙂

Oh you're catching up to my medical history! I'll have to try harder, lolI recently had cause to make my recent medical history available to an alternative medical practitioner. It focuses on major or ongoing events, prescribed medication and allergies. It runs to 94 pages
It's funny you say that, my first therapist said the same thing, that he would need therapy after dealing with me. He's a fun guy, still deals with me, but now there's a second therapist involved, too, lol.
100% hell yes!
