Question Posted Saturday December 24 2005, 7:37 am
OK so i am catholic, and i am an altar server. In early october, i had a very bad knee injury and was on crutches for a very long time, so i couldn't serve. My knee injury occured when my knee just collapsed. Tonight, i am altar serving christmas eve mass, which is one of the biggest masses of the year. It is also my first mass back after my injury. Im excited to be back, because i love to altar serve, especially christmas eve. But I am so afraid that my knee will just collapse again, i just got off my crutches yesterday! I mean .. i have a brace on too. Any advice on how to relax, and not worry about my knee collapsing?

If at all possible, bring a cane with you to steady yourself and relieve stress.
Knowing that you have some extra support will help to put your mind at ease.
If you have to kneel at any point, use your good knee to lower and raise yourself, if possible.
Other than the those things, once you get back there, you will be busy with what you are doing, and so nervouse about being out of practice, that you will not be thinking about your knee. ;-)
