that fucking figures.
So I fell yesterday.
I was going down Vagabond, which is a very nice blue run, and I hit a patch of ice. I started going straight downhill (very uncool), attempted to turn, skidded, and somehow wound up on my back going down the hill headfirst. Nothing hurt, but when I got up, my right knee felt a little wobbly.
I made it the rest of the way down (bailed onto a green at the first opportunity), and continued to feel a little wobbly. We had lunch and I returned to the condo, and then eventually betook myself to the local medical center.
$242 later, I have been seen by a medical professional and acquired a knee brace. The doctor said not to ski unless my knee feels "great," but said I probably didn't do serious damage--a minor tear to the meniscus or minor cartilage damage. Fuck my life, y'all, I had two days left to ski. :| And we're probably not coming back next year.
So I spent all day today on my ass updating AO3 and my ficjournal (have gotten through a lot of fandoms; I have six or seven trivial-sized fandom collections to do, and then FF6 and FF12, which basically are huge and I hate myself).
It doesn't hurt most of the time (and hurts in a "this is stiff and sore" sort of way when it does, which is when I straighten my leg all the way out), which makes it more obnoxious. Not that I actually want to be in pain, but it's fucking annoying to be plonked on my ass when I don't even feel like it's necessary 99.95% of the time.
Yes, I realize this is a case of serious first world problems, but I was just getting up to skiing blues and feeling good about it, so I am going to pout. Like a pouting thing.
Dammit.
