Sooo....
In the third week of class, I have successfully managed to dislocate my knee.
Damnit.
It's more or less functional now, though of course it's swollen. I've got one of those wonderful knee braces, and I get to use crutches for a while. I'm s'posed to go in tomorrow morning to have another doctor take a look.
I was at the first meeting for my chosen form of martial arts, and after about two hours of practicing falling safely I finally managed to screw up magnificently. On the bright side, one of the members of the group is a chiropractor and got me patched up (ish) on the spot. Onwards to the Student Health Center, where they've determined my kneecap isn't quite were it needs to be. This may or may not be a result of tonight, as I've had trouble with my knees before. The guy I see tomorrow should know more.
Additionally, I did get to impress everyone with my amazing pain-tolerance-of-doom. The chiropractor seemed quite amazed that I was not weeping visibly.
Overall, however... bleh.
