What put me in the chair was surgery on my knee for avascular necrosis (the interior of my bones started dying; left untreated I would have either lost my leg or become a zombie; the doc was kind of fuzzy on that) in 08. At the same time, I was going through low-dose chemo and increasing amounts of painkillers for autoimmune issues. My knee never received any rehab work; I couldn't drive and my ex didn't bother to stay in town long enough to get me to appointments. Between all that, the leg is still incredibly weak. I make myself walk to work most days just to try to build up my strength there.
