The Gambler Goes Down To His Knees

So last night I did what can only be known now as one of the stupidest things I've ever done. I'll start by asking this question...Have you ever met anyone who suffered an injury during a night of Karaoke?

If you haven't then ya do now! If you have please share I need to feel better!

So I'm doing "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers. The crowd is into it, and I'm enjoying the crowd and my tummy full of booze. I'm having some bar patrons sing along with me. All is good. Cut to applause and cheering and then it happened.

I jumped off stage (like I ALWAYS DO) and heard "pop! pop!" and down to the ground I go. Not wanting to look like I was so drunk I fell down I put an arm down and sprung back up. Only to find my friends helping me hop along. Something happened to my knee. It still hurts like hell today and I haven't been able to put next to any weight on it. So today or tomorrow I'll head to the doc and find out what happened. Stay tuned for more adventures of "The Gambler: Hop-Along-Karaoke King"

[UPDATE 10.4.2006] Prognosis: Torn meniscus! Wahoo! So I'll be hanging out doing some physical therapy and in two weeks go back and possibly get and MRI then possible surgery! Best case scenario would be that it heels on its own and I can never be on "Dancing with the Stars" and my future as a DDR (Digital Dance Revolution, ya know those dancing games at the arcade) folk hero has come to an end. Could've been so beautiful, Could've been so right. Say la vi.

This also messes up my exercise routine. Anyone know any good sit and be fit workouts?
