Wednesday I took a fall... well actually more like slide.. down my stairs. while trying to carry creighton and the laptop... Creighton's fine. The Lap top... not so much. The screen is toast. Me? HA... as I was sliding down a good portion of my stairs my left leg was caught in a bent position. I could NOT walk for a few minutes the pain was horrible.
Here it is 2 days later and it still hurts. but only when I slightly twist my knee from the straight position. Which you find out when your knee hurts is almost in every thing you do! getting up- hurts. sitting down- hurts. stretching- hurts. climbing stairs- hurts. descending stairs- hurts the most. getting out of bed- hurts.
but I've adapted to different ways to get up, out and down..
funny thing is... I can totally put all my pressure on it and I'm a-OK! weird right? which is good since I have surgery on my foot on Tuesday. and of COURSE the foot is on the end of the other leg. haha. boo.
only 2 more nights of work. and 4 more days til my surgery. I'm freaking out. but not as much as I probably would have been before the knee incident. oh boy.
One more thing. Before this happened, I had this thought... "maybe I should take down the lap top so my hands aren't full and I won't fall......" yeah.. maybe I should have listened? yep.. Lesson learned.
