So I was coming back from the bathroom during a break in class. For at least the second time I twisted my ankle and fell down. This time I twisted my knee and I heard something popped. I spent about 5 minutes in extreme pain. It doesn't help when someone asks if you can move your leg and you can't even contemplate moving your hand. Argh! So it felt ok after the initial pain went away, but started to get worse once I got myself home. Luckily my Dad had the car, so he took me to our friendly orthopedic surgeon. We're lucky to have one that is a family friend. He said I probably have torn my ACL. But since I'm not into sports (not even vaguely) I don't need surgery. But I am having a MRI on Thursday to check out my injury. That will be exciting.
Now I just hurt and am limping around with crutches. May I just say those are hard to use. And thanks to them I have discovered that I did really tweak my other ankle. Luckily no clinicals this week so I have some time to heal. And I'm never going up those stairs again. I don't know how I'll get to the bathroom, but I'll think of something.
