Grace, thy name is Sarah
For those of you who haven't been around to laugh at me, earlier this year, I messed up my knee. This resulted in me hobbling around campus and Jessi, the evil, heartless girl she is, getting hours of amusement. I went to the doctor over Thanksgiving break who said I broke packets of water under my kneecap, causing it to swell up, hurt, and stop me from walking normally.
Amazingly, after three months, it got a lot better. So much so that Monday, I decided to jog for the first time in about two months. Mind you, I only got about 1 minute in before my knee started bothering me but it was a start. I then went upstairs to get changed to head out with Mel, Danie, and Rocky.
My first mistake was leaving the knee brace on. I figured that because I just started running, my knee would swell and hurt when I went out and the brace would cut down on that. My second mistake was missing the first step.
Our stairs have three steps and then it pivots 90 degrees for the remaining steps. When I missed the first step, I went down on my ass and slid down the remaining two. Since my knee was in the brace, I couldn't bend it before I hit the wall. So, bad knee first, I rammed into the wall. Yesterday I went to the doctors and he sent me to get X-rays since he's not sure if I broke my kneecap.
Yes, I know. My Christmas break is kicking your Christmas break's ass!
