I Knee-d My Knee

I was on baby duty on wednesday for my niece. I was holding her in the kitchen, all I was doing was standing and suddenly my knee went inwards and I heard a loud crunch sound. I had to stop myself from falling over by gripping onto the fridge and sliding down the awl behind me; there was NO way I was going to fall whilst holding my niece.

I was limping for two days but by mid-day Friday it was getting far too painful. My mum couldn't take me to A&E because she can't push me so my sister took me.

Silly me, I told her to go to the hospital with the most drunks, although they can be amusing we have to keep our distance. The hospital also is way too busy and the nurse who initially assesses you was a grumpus of a woman.

We waited 2 hours to see the grumpus and she wasn't listening to me, and barely looked at my knee.

She sent me to x-ray (I always hate that because they put you in positions that make sure that the painful things HURT LIKE HELL) then I had to wait an extra hour and a half to see the doctor-y person. I told him all my problems (to which my sister rolled her eyes) then I told him all my medications (to which my sister gave me a very interesting look), the doctor-y person told me that nothing is broken and then he examined my leg. He told me that it shouldn't be THAT tender. He sent me to get a Modified Robert Jones (get it bandaged up).

My sister said that he only did it because I kicked up a fuss. If that were true he would have just put a tubey grip on it and not this big chunky thing.

I have to go back to see the fracture clinic in a few weeks.

Whenever I do something to myself it's never nothing... NEVER!

My whole knee, leg and bad foot is swollen and in utter agony throughout the day (and night).

I am now BACK on crutches!

I hope you're all well!

*huggle* for everyone!!!!
