Well my brother Brett called me last night to ask my opinion about something.

A little history… before I got into the wonderful world of computers and the internet, I was going into Sports Medicine. I spent a few years in High School and College as a “student trainer” helping with the sports teams at each school. I really loved what I was doing, and had fully planned on going into it, but then I got engaged and decided that I actually needed money in my future. I thought “hey, I like comptuers” and knew how to do websites, so I dropped Sports Med (not necessarily willingly) and went into computers. Since then, I always try to help when I see someone get hurt in a game, or wherever to try and use what I learned during those years and slow down the memory loss.

That being said… what I learned is fairly rusty, but apparently accessible. Brett decided to fall down the stairs after a LAN party and twisted his knee. He had already gone to the doc but hadn’t really been given instructions on what to do going forward… so he called his wonderful brother to try and access that fading memory to see what he should do.

Twas kinda fun rememebring all the tests to see what was wrong with the knee, what everything is called around in there, and what potential issues there may be. I passed along all of the above information, but really enjoyed strolling down memory lane. So thanks for injuring yourself Brett!! We’ll have to do it again some time!

Oh… and what he hurt was his LCL, or Lateral Collateral Ligament. The doc said it was just a mild sprain and all should be good.
