(no subject)
poo bum wee.
was at a masquerade ball in flash fancy long dress last night & pointy shoes. said pointy shoe perhaps did or did not get caught in said flash fancy long dress, thus causing one pointy shoe to go one way (with leg attached) and one pointy shoe to go the other way (also with leg attached).
resulting in me grovelling in hideous fucking pain (combined with pain memory i think - cue panic attack!) on the floor with glamorous people looking on in concern, but not alarm.
yes. so knee is now BUNG. interestingly, it's not the same knee that resulted in 3 months off & another 6 months gaining confidence back. it's the other one (obviously, haha).
same pain, same sensation. so i'm going to save myself a $400 MRI & assume it's the same sort of injury due to my genetically deformed tibia/femur/bone bits with a predisposition for dislocation - which came up in scans of the OTHER knee.
it's not as horrendously, hideously broken as the other knee last year. i can walk on it and there is a pretty good range of flexion. but can't bend on it to tackle stairs & it certainly can't take my weight very well.
POO BUM WEE.
came home & strapped it and Iced it and stuck it up in the air. have applied topical anti-inflammatory this morning. hopefully not out of action for too long. shame - it's stunning weather out. one of those gorgeous mid-winter sunny days. a great day for riding.
speaking of, i need to do a SERIOUS horse update.
