i've been dithering on getting a knee brace since forever, and as of now, im still totally undecided. i've heard nothing but positive comments from ppl who do pull on these things comw gametime, and who absolutely swear by them, but i also vaguely remember reading somewhere that while it definitely does protect and relieves the joint somewhat, it also makes it reliant on the brace. that'd mean weakening the joint in my book, so i really have no idea at all.

all valuable input appreciated.

they say hang hang chu zhuang yuen, or out of every field pops a scholar, along with loads of dragonflies, bees, cockroaches et al.
and how true, how true.

went and donated blood last week. my 1st time, so i must have been a little jittery. curious and excited, no quaking in my adidas, but still a tad jittery for sure. haha wat a pussy wussy.

the smiling auntie nurse sat me down, rubbed some yellow stuff into my forearm, made a little puncture, and proceeded to enlarge it! gosh, she must have pumped air into it or something.

out came this thick mean looking catheter or drawing device of some sort, and slid it effortlessly into one of my veins. seriously, when i got my 1st eyeful of that wicked looking silver apparatus, i almost regretted my decision. scary sia! good thing i didnt pass out. wat wud have become of my hunky image then. irreversible damage done for sure. wait, i dun have a hunky image to speak of. anyhow, it didnt hurt too much tho, the nurse was that good.

i prolly was nervous, cos my bag filled up in a jiffy. haha, and lo and behold! it was warm! had a feel, cos i was curious haha.
