Split Jump Accident
Tuesday, August 18, 2009
OW!!! My knee hurts... or somewhere around there.
Yesterday was dance auditions, and I did a split jump towards the end and i landed wrongly. Because i was wearing long pants, I kinda landed with my left leg bent in wards and i think i "cracked" the knee. Man it hurts so bad... I was shaking while trying to succumb to the pain, then miraculously when i tried to straighten it, it cracked again, it felt better till i tried to stand and walk, the knee hurts bad... it's like another knee crack with every step...
Then I went back home with the help of a few friends, borrowed a pair of crutches and it is hard. Don't know how to use it and quite a few times i thought i was going to fall... went back home and I was the exhibition of the night. Everyone at home was like looking at me like I was the new dinosaur skeletons display.(night at a museum reference which i watched today)
Went to the doctor that night and damn... mondays are like the sick day of the week. The queue was long like I had to wait for an hour to get the doctor to touch the injured knee for 5 minutes. Then he told me that he can't really tell what's wrong because it is swollen. But he thinks that I just pulled a ligament. is that bad? I hope not... because i don't want to walk with every step like a cracked knee.
then the doctor gave me a day MC and a week off physical exercise. and today I was so darn bored, I got a day of a lot of sleep and watching stuff. I know I am supposed to make good use of my time by studying, but I am way too in pain to think about studies...
So tomorrow I am going back to school, I hope that it is not going to hurt as bad. And darn, tomorrow is photo day, I don't know what i am going to do...
