happened long ago in a football field.it started with a fall,a fall that was.i was taken to hospital the next day severely bruised swelled with effusions,unable to bear the weight of the owner.a needle inserted to the heart of my inside drew away a lot of the bulge.i was free with a bandage ready to bear his weight in days.and its gone,the attention i received for a few days.i began to get treated as always.taken for granted.but i was not the knee i had been before the fall.i stooped sometimes,forced to gave-away and to fall at occasions.still i didn't get the care i deserved. I think there are a few types of owners. 1)those who pampers their possession intimately how ever little that may .they attach a great deal to their belongings,the obsessive owners.2)those who can differentiate.know the value of each commodity and care for them as per the merit,the pragmatic owner.3)who don't care.they don't know what they have and how worth they are or even they are ,the negligent.i belong to the third, neglected for more than a decade. And finally the day came .I gave away for a final time unable to bear the insults .And he knew,for the first time,enough is enough and decided to live by the rules.and the MRI said, something they call a ligament is off .off for a long time.and i was laid bare for arthroscopy in the theater bed numb with the dose of anesthetic injected into spine.and the expert hands and sophisticated instruments went zigzag inside around three hours drilling and screwing. a new ligament taken from hamstring was grafted( i was hearing this first time in a non agricultural context) keeping in place with two micro screws.i was home next day with a brace and two crutches to bear for me.and it went for a week.then a crutch said good bye ,then another and finally the brace asking me to take care.it is me again,a little staggering aching here and there and subjected to all types of twisting and turning in the name of strengthening muscles around me.so back on foot .i am not taking you too much,i am not capable of rather.i was just thinking back.i was just learning to walk backward as part of my exercise regime.so take care .bye
