Oh bother.

I've always had this sort of trick knee where the socket or something would rotate in odd and bad ways. Popping noises and all. So this morning as I was half-jumping out of bed like I always do, I wrenched it...something that's happened dozens of times, except this time I kept falling. So I had to jump back onto the bed in mid-air using my other leg.

Anyway, this wasn't enough to avert injury apparently, as now my knee is all swollen up. It still doesn't hurt too much, but it has gotten progressively stiffer. I of course being an idiot, didn't bother to keep it flat until much too late. D'oh. So now I'm sitting here, iced up swollen knee, trying to keep my leg straight, and hoping and praying nothing is seriously wrong.

Much better (thanks for asking!), the swelling is pretty much all gone and I'm back on my feet. I don't have full mobility yet and it still doesn't feel so great, but I don't have much to complain about and I'm grateful for that.

I hate to be rude, but I've forgotten who the person behind the username is -- do I know you? (I must, because you're in my friends list...)
