There is nothing good about having a knee that won't bend or that is in constant, uncomfortable pain.  There is no leason learned, no silver lining behind being immobile.  I'm coming out of my skin.  :( (A thousand unhappy emoticon faces).

There is a rule about silver linings. I think 7 or 8 times out of 10, we are not allowed to rule them out for at least a year.

Like the old buddhist proberb (related to me by jason adair) about the two boys who fell out of a tree. One broke his arm and the people said: The one who is unharmed is the lucky one. The monk said: We shall see. When the boy with the healthy arm was called to war, the people reversed their stance. And the monk said: We shall see. And so on until we realize that, all things being equal, what happens to happen to us might be exactly what is supposed to and is best if we make it so in this the best of all possible realities because the only, and etc. etc. etc.
