Better to stay off it as much as possible..Not a regular on the coffee thread, but I’m just sitting here with an injured knee catching up on everyone’s journals.
Was trying to catch a goose with a net Friday evening when something in my knee made a snapping sound and feeling, and I immediately lost my ability to use that leg. Had to get down and crawl on my hands and knees, which fortunately I was able to do.
X-rays revealed nothing broken (yay!) and now I’m waiting on a call back from the orthopedist to schedule a follow up appointment and probably an MRI. ER doc said probably torn meniscus. Not allowed to walk on it. (Can’t anyway) But I can use crutches, and I have a nice rolling desk chair that has come in handy. I have a whole new respect for people in wheel chairs!
It’s been improving with each day, so I imagine by the time I get an ortho appointment, I’ll be walking in normally. I can already stand on it; I just can’t put enough weight on it to lift the good foot off the ground.
I had a life of ease over the weekend but tomorrow I will probably be back to doing chores hobbling on crutches.
WAY easier said than done.
Also, WOW, sounds nasty and painful! So sorry!
