OH YEAH! that thing!

If you don't follow me on Twitter/Tumblr, then fyi that yesterday morning, I fell down walking on some gravel on my way into work, & tore the shit out of my knee. It was bleeding so much that I went to the ER so they could clean it for me.

It was kind of hilarious...I called my boss and was like, "DON'T FREAK OUT...how do I get to the ER?!" lmao.

It was funnier at first when the pain messages weren't going to my brain at all.

Now it's very slowly healing, & throughout the day the band aids I wear rub on it, and it just hurts.
I have an affected limp currently, to try & lessen the bending of the knee (& therefore the rubbing of band aid on to rawness).



I forgot how much acute, all-day pain takes out of you.
Currently, it sucks, but it almost makes me sit back & realize how much less pain I'm in now than I was in before my surgery.

So sorry! Limps can throw your back into miserable configurations -- happy to lend a cane if you'd like to try it.

What no ER snarky stories?
