This is what happens when you try to leave Timaru
Two weeks ago today, I tore the meniscus and medial ligament in my left knee. I'll need further investigation to see if the ACL is involved as well. After that, who knows. I may be looking at surgery, or at the very least some intensive physiotherapy.
I was on the way to Christchurch to spend some time with estoile, which I ended up doing more of than originally planned -- I'm on crutches, and was in too much pain to do much except shuffle between her couch and the loo and, if I was feeling brave, the kitchen table, for most of the time I was there.
I'm under orders to rest up as much as I can. That means no lab rounds at work, among other things.
The worst part is my limited ability to carry anything. I can carry small, light things short distances, but that's about it. I also can't stand up for more than a couple of minutes at a time without my right foot getting upset about it (yay for flat feet).
So yeah, that's what's been going on with me.
How about you lot?
