Dear Knees,

What do you need? I'll get it for you! I hope all the vitamins are helping. Are there exercises I could do that would help? I try my best to be careful, but I think my elastic is shot or something. I want to make sure the ligaments stay where they're supposed to, and I don't want you getting all inflamed. I'll do better about taking NSAIDs when you're unhappy. Please don't go screwy on me! Show me how to take better care of you. I can't rely on doctors and nurses because all I have is a minimal HMO with an unaffordable deductible, so we need to cooperate on keeping you healthy. Tell me how.

Love, Columbine
