I was 26-27ish at a bonfire party at a friend's parents house. A linebacker lady was drunk dancing with a guy in the garage which had a door that goes to the kitchen. I, in need of a drink refill, tried to walk around them for it when she latched into me, "hey! Dance with us!"

i gave it the old drunk wiggle and tried to break away but she started to lose her balance and grabbed me. I tried to support her and she managed to fall into me, bending my knee sideways. POP said my knee as she sat on it.

You know that action movie move where someone stomps on someone else's knee from the side? Picture that but slower and north of 200 lbs coming down on it.

Ended up on crutches for two weeks. I lied and told work it was football because that's way easier than drunken bonfire party dance attack. No money and no insurance so i never bothered to go to the hospital.

That's how i went from having a left knee to a bad knee.
