Well, this is not good....

I've injured my knee and had to go to the emergency room today. :(  It started last Friday when I started to slip and fall and while I was able to catch myself, I tweaked something in my right knee.  I limped around a bit at my brother's house, but it was mostly sore.  Then on Tuesday I was helping a student get a book and another boy came up and I turned wrong or something because I heard & felt a 'pop' in my knee.  It sort of hurt, but I had classes to get through and plans for the evening and so - doing my typical, I'm tough and it will go away if I ignore it routine - I went on with my life, until this morning.  When I woke up I could barely move my leg it was so stiff and sore and I knew I couldn't ignore it any longer, so off to the emergency room I went... well, my friend took me as there was no way I was driving anywhere!

I have a sprained knee with ligament damage and then some cartilage damage as well.  I have to go and have an MRI and see what they can do about it.  Wearing a brace is not fun... having your leg sticking straight out in front of you and not bending it is not fun either!  I really wish I had bought the laptop I've been wanting to get because I won't be able to sit in here for very long, it's just not comfortable. :(

It's so frustrating because it's such a busy time at work!  I have another author coming in next week and then it's time for the annual Read-A-Thon for the kids.  I know I can't do anything about those things, but...  still, it is frustrating!

I think it's time I went to bed, another interesting event - trying to get comfortable wearing the brace to bed!
