Knee Quotations

I hate leg exercises. I hate one-legged squats. I hate the hurdles and the split squats. I hate all the leg exercises. I know they help me, and I'm able to move around and don't have knee problems, and my hip doesn't hurt anymore, but when my trainer tells me I have to do them, I almost feel like my body goes into convulsions.

As much as I like to be thoughtful and think things through in my decision making - I don't like knee jerk decisions - but I'm not afraid to make decisions.

My back has been compressed and operated on, my feet have been surgically cut up, and I have a knee that's just going wacky. So I do my own driving, and I ski and skate. I'm playing hockey again. Anything that immobilizes my feet I'm OK with.

Even on TV appearances or big shows, I don't know if I've ever been as nervous as I was my first time doing stand-up. I just remember getting offstage and sitting down, and my right knee was just shaking from the adrenaline.

The thing is I have no ACL. So unless I get surgery, there's nothing really magical that I can do that's going to make it better. I just can get my leg stronger, my muscle stronger and try and support it a little more. But that has a small impact. My knee is loose, and it's not stable, and that's the way it's going to be from here on out.

It's not okay to be fat - not because of the way you look, but because it's unhealthy. I have experienced hormonal problems, bad skin, immense laziness, and back and knee pain. It's not fine to be too fat or too thin! Anything in extremes is wrong. I am afraid of putting on weight because I don't want to develop health problems.

We don't have any concern about that. Even myself, I had knee surgery not that long ago and I don't care at all.

We're going to play a lot off of what Barry tells us, because he's the only one who knows how his knee is going to feel. It's always going to be a day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to- month thing.

We've still got to make sure that shin heals; it's like a rehab/recovery process. The reality now for Lauren is that she's never going to be healthy from the knee to ankle.

We always had this window to try to get him fit with the maximum amount of rest we could afford before the tour. We were very happy with his progress, the little bit of soreness was predictable.

Right now, we?re just going by how she feels day to day and hoping that her knee feels good for the end of the year.

She has a deep knee bruise and we'll see how she is (Monday).

She had two knee surgeries, and she wasn't sure she was coming back. It's tough training to get to this level, and she's done it.

Since my knee surgery, everything has been going well so far and I will be bowling again after another week. I won't be charging in off like my usual run-up straight away, as I need to build up gradually. I don't know how long it will take but I know it won't be long. I just have to be patient.

She is hurting from the knee to the lower back. She is getting treatment. I don't know if she'll be able to skate. She was not able to walk yesterday.

My knee is 100 percent, so it's not like I'm getting any swelling. It's just the fact that I'm getting back used to things. It's going pretty good. I'm just trying to work on little stuff like my explosion, coming out of cuts.

My knee has been good. I'm doing well and I feel like I can be effective on the court. I think I'll be fine. I'm very excited, I'm anxious to get out there and play.

My knee has been fine. At first, it was hard because all of the tears were from contact. Anybody bumping me or anything made me nervous. I was more timid and shied away, and that's not me. Not at all. I'm learning to be confident and that I'll be OK if and when I play hard on it.

My knee has been bothering me a little bit but not enough to affect me. It's just one of the many things that's not going well for me right now.

I was hoping we wouldn't have to catch him, but his knee is holding up fine. He's always done a good job back there. He's had a couple of passed balls, but that's from not being back there the last two years. He's thrown some guys out on the bases.

I was going to check him, and he made a move. I hit his knee a little, but I was not trying to hurt him.

I am disappointed to have to end my season, but my knee has been bothering me for the better part of the year.

I believe that the DH rule is going to be in effect, so Bonds will probably just hit. I think it will be good for him to get those at-bats without having to be in the outfield like he did when he came back late last year on that knee and at least sharpen his swing, which really don't need a whole lot to be sharp, but it will be a help for him and to the Giants and to the tournament, to the U.S. team.

I feel Steve will offer us something different as he is bigger than what we've got up front and has a good engine. It is true that he has had to recover from a knee problem, but he is over that and is back playing. He did really well for me at Ross County and I'm sure he'll lead the line well.

He's had a brace put on his knee. It was the body weight of the man who fell on top of him that his knee couldn't take and over-stretched the ligament.
