Dagnabbit, That's Three!

When I am sitting at my desk in my office I am facing away from the door. And so if someone comes into my office I usually turn to the right since the door to the other offices is to the right and behind me. But the way my desk is set up, I tend to lose track of where my knees are... And damned if I do not crack my frigging knee on the drawer section nearly every time. It gets a laugh often, but it hurts like hell, especially considering it's my bad knee that makes the connection. And dagnabbit! That's three times today! I am going to need a cane!

I'm sorry you hit your knee so often. I have an extra if you need it.

Who is laughing: you or bystanders? If I banged my knee I wouldn't be laughing. I'd be cursing and maybe screaming.

Does that heal it any faster? ... If that works for you, 'to each their own.'

@lovebuglena Sometimes you need to 'let it out'; maybe that's why people say to "give your problems to God"---once you 'announce them to him' (or have a minister help you deliver them or something), you don't have to thank about them until 'he' gives them back to you

Is there any way to rearrange your furniture? If not, how about pool noodles to pad the drawer or some kind of baby bumpers? Your knee might not handle too many more bangs and injury.

I swear, if I put pool noodles on my desk, I'll never hear the end of it.

My elliptical, my floor, my desk drawer, my camera.
My toes are attracted to this thing. But, it's the best spot in the house for the elliptical, and keeping it there keeps me from procrastinating.

Maybe it needs more exercise. 'Therapy fixes everything!'

Why don't you fasten a cushion to the drawer (or round your knee)? Moving the desk a bit so that you don't have to turn in this way is also an option.
