Default Crashed and bruised..

I just got back from the ER.

I fell down, and went BOOOM! and my dad took me to the ER to make sure I didnt break anything.

I was standing on the basement stairs, about halfway up, talking to my dad, my cellphone in my room started to ring, so I went to go answer it. Somehow I missed a couple of the steps (probably about 2 or 3 of them) and ended up turning my knee somehow as I landed.

My dad took me to the ER just in case I might have broken something. I thought I would just end up with a bruise. I didnt break anything, but I strained/sprained my knee and have to walk with crutches for a few weeks.

I didnt think it would be painful to stand on this, but holy cow excrement, I had to have help putting my sweat pants back on! And when I stood up, I was not expecting the pain to be that bad. Geeze, it hurts. (unfortunately they didnt give me any good drugs...oh well)

I think I need to build up my upper body strength....crutches are tiring.

I'm just glad I dont have anything going on in the next week or two other than a neuro appointment tomorrow...which will be getting rescheduled. (not being able to walk on my toes, heels, or even just WALK might mess up the neuro check)

I'm sure the neuro will blame the fall on the MS...because he blames everything on the MS. argh.

Hopefully I'll heal from this quickly. Now I know how my aunt has been feeling with her torn meniscus in her knee. I can finally sympathize with her.
