Comments on: Ooh, a fever.

I only have to wear the knee brace to protect my previously-torn ACL (although the last time something was wrong with my knee, the ACL was the strongest part in there). Kicking wasn't giving me trouble before I started wearing my brace, but certain stances (horse stance, for example) were impossible to hold. For saké, though, I'll see if Dave wants to show me the proper techniques the next time I'm home. Thanks for your concern, Mike.

But what's this about a knee brace? If you have bad knees and you're taking a "kicking-oriented" martial art (like Tae Kwon Do), that could be a bad combination especially if you aren't kicking anotomically correct. There are many stories of people in their 30s and 40s having to wear thick metal knee braces because they kicked the wrong way when they were martial artists earlier. That said, if kicking puts any strain on your knee or if you feel that kicking doesn't follow the same joint motions as walking or stomping on the ground, get Dave to show you how to kick right. In fact, do it anyway just for the sake of saké, the Japanese alcoholic drink.

It is gentle on the stomach, so it was safe to have right when I woke up. Apparently. It is gentle on the stomach, so it was safe to have right when I woke up.

I hope you get better staying at home where people can take care of you. Tylenol brings down fevers? Oh no, fever! I hope you get better staying at home where people can take care of you.
