My knee is breaking (Patreon)

I mean it's in the title lol MRI scans show that my kneecap and the cartilage are breaking more and more and it keeps getting worse. I love my walks, I love all the hiking and the freedom it makes me feel I don't get from any other activity. It helps with depression. Yet, I can't keep doing this. I have an appointment at the clinic in a month and we'll see what kind of surgery I'll be having. Maybe I can postpone it. Maybe I can get something else done? I don't know. I'm sorry if this sounds really depressed but I can't help myself and I think it's only fair to report to you what I have announced will be happening to me. For those worrying about rewards: Don't. Everything will be uploaded and your support will be rewarded or course.
