Sprained Knee

Anyone ever have one? 

 

I fell off the ladder at work or rather missed the bottom two steps.  I landed on my feet but my right knee gave out on me and popped and I hit the ground.  I have to stay off of it for a week.  I get to sit on my behind all day long and watch tv.  Oh and ice my knee.  Next Wednesday he will make sure I didn't rip my ACL.  They can't tell because my knee is so swelled with fluid. 

 

I have to tell you I am SO SO bored.  Really bored.  I'm not used to being alone anymore.  Well one day a week I'm off by myself and that is fine because I have so many errands.  My other day off is on Sunday so I'm actually quite lonely between 7 and 3:45. 

 

Oh and I hate being helpless.  Drives me up the wall!!  And I feel like I'm just sitting around gaining weight because I can't do anything :-( 

 

Can you tell today is a particularly bad day?

Ouch!  I did that years ago, before Ally was born.  Do yourself a favor and stay off it as much as possible.  I insisted on using crutches and going to school (college) anyway.  Made it much worse.  It will be hard to get around for a while, but once the swelling goes down, you will be able to start walking a bit more.  I didn't stay off mine and ended up staying on crutches for almost 3 weeks.  Hope you heal fast and that your ACL isn't torn!
