Today, in an effort to be more active, I jumped out of bed ready for a morning jog. Or, that was the plan. Instead, I twisted my knee so badly standing up, it's now locked, and I can't move it. So much for activity. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I decided to turn my life around and start exercising more. I didn't even make it out the door before I tripped and fractured my ankle. FML
Today, I decided to start jogging and exercising, so I had a wonderful workout before work. Then I broke my foot at work. Goodbye exercising. FML
Today, I decided to begin jogging since my weight was getting a little out of control and I wanted to do something about it. Guess who tripped on a root and broke their ankle? Yeah. Exactly. FML
Today, I went to a yoga class, thinking it would be good for my stiff calf from running. I pulled my back out doing the downward dog. Now can't get out of bed. FML
Today, I decided to be healthy and go for a run. I broke my ankle. FML
Today, as I was trying to get out of bed, my foot began sliding across the floor. I instinctively tried to balance myself, only for the new angle to cause my right hip to painfully and loudly dislocate, making me fall face-forward into my dresser. Back stuck in bed after three days of freedom. FML
Today, I realized thanks to two injuries I have that I can't do two routines my doctor wants me to do. I strained something in my right hip so squatting causes me pain. Jogging is also out of the question because my right foot healed wrong when I sprained it, and requires pricey foot surgery to fix. FML
Today, I went to sit on a desk chair, which promptly rolled out from under me. This made me fall on my own foot, literally shattering two bones. I just bought a 9-month gym membership and can't use it because I wanted to sit down. FML
Today, after spending two hard months losing 20 pounds of my 80 pound goal, I was actually excited to exercise. After I was done exercising, I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle. FML
Today, I woke up after being sick from the flu and tried to get out of bed. I forgot I was in a bunk bed and broke my ankle in the fall down. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't be discouraged OP. I've lost over 80 lbs and that has come with a few injuries. It's great that you're getting started, so don't let this unmotivate you. If it's too bad, a doctor visit might be needed. Good luck.

I was once an adventurer, but I'm unable to do as much, since the day a projectile hit my knee.

Until your knee is healed avoid physical activity but don't lose your motivation

You should never, ever jump after resting for so long. Same reason warming up is mandatory before exercising.

Drink lots of water and do stretches so you can stay loose for your activity so you your muscles aren't tight and don't lock up.

Sorry to hear it OP. Something similar happened to me, different circumstances but same result. If your knee is still locked after a couple of days, get X-rays and/or a MRI scan...you may have ripped your meniscus & if so, the chewed up cartilage that's stuck in your knee joint is making it impossible to bend or straighten. If that's what your issue is, ask about repairing the cartilage or using donor tissue vs. completely removing it...I couldn't afford to repair it so they removed it. It was fine after the surgery but now that it's been 10 years, my knee is all f*cked up & arthritic. I'll probably need knee replacement surgery in the next few years which I'm not looking forward to especially since I'm still young (f*ck MY life!!). I hope you don't have a bucket-handle meniscus tear like I did but thought I'd share so you can make informed & better choices. Good luck OP!

Based on this comment I'd figure you can't get any girls, so the only chick banging you would do is shooting baby chickens. So please take your animal cruelty off this site before we call Peta on you.
