I've fallen and I can't get up

I am not going to be doing my usual Favorite things Friday today because I am hurting and I can't really think of a favorite thing right now...unless you consider not being in pain would be one of my favorite things. Anyway...

So I guess me being the giver that I am, I decided that I did not want my sister to feel lonely with her knee pain. So I figured the best way to accomplish that would be a trip off the porch the hard way. I stepped on my steps and they were COVERED in ice and I went flying. I landed hard on both my knees, one a little worse then the other. My right knee is swollen and I can barely walk on it. I went and got x-rays at urgent care and they said it is not broken but they couldn't see much because of the swelling and I wouldn't (couldn't) let them move it much. They said to make an appointment with my doc (which is a project in itself) and get an MRI. So I am now laid up on my couch hurting :( So sorry if I don't get much commenting in today. I will try to catch up later. I don't want to break my iron commenter streak.

I hope all of you are doing better then I am. Have a great weekend!

Note: To all that wondered how to do the cross out on blogger go to this web page and it will tell you how. http://blogger-tricks.blogspot.com/2008/02/display-strike-crossed-out-or-cancelled.html

Ouch! You are such a great sister! Praying for a quick heal - I hope you are on your feet again soon.

Oh NO! I'm sorry you are hurting! Keep your feet up and let DH pamper you this weekend. :)

Oh No! Keep it elevated, a pillow under it works wonders. Stay off your feet and let your DH take care of you. Hope you feel better soon.

Your poor knees!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog -- and for the link to the crossout thingie. I've always wondered how you do that!

Oooooowwwwwiiiiee! You pulled what I pulled last week... stupid icy winter steps. I ended up with a bruised back and whiplash though, rather than busting up my ankle... but I'm sure the steps sentiments were the same... Ungh.

Feel better soon. I hope the doc at least gave you some good drugs hun. (*HUGS*)

AnotherDreamer said...

Geesh... I meant *knee* not *ankle*.

OUCH! Feel better. And meeting up with doctors while injured. Oh that is a chore. I had to go to a pediatrician (because he was the only one available that day) when I broke my tailbone, he treated me like I was five. Wishing you the best with the Iron Commentator!

oh no!!! I'm so sorry to hear you're hurt. And landing on your knees - it hurts just thinking about it. But, surely, this entitles you to some special treatment? Breakfast in bed?

Hope you feel better soon!
