Ice skating gone bad
Well Kaylee and I had fun at the brand new ice arena skating ( only 5 mins from home!) BUT 1hour or so in, we took a spill. I was holding her under her armpits skating slowly when she drove in her toe pick and we both went down. I landed on top of her. She ended up with a bloody nose and a fat lip and I ended up with a very badly hurt knee. I was very concerned with Kay when it happened obviously, noting first that her nose and teeth where not broken, I rushed her home since she was screaming for her daddy. Once home and snuggled in Eric's lap, I noticed how really sore my knee was and started icing it. Woke up in the morning with a seriously swollen hematoma the size of a baseball. That day I had a meeting, so I went. I could still walk. However right before the meeting it got suddenly much more painful, my boss had some advil so I took it and went on running the meeting, seated with my leg up. But after the meeting I stood up and knew I wasn't able to walk. So I called Eric to come get me, waited till most people left the meeting then asked for people to assist me down the stairs and my boss helped by bringing a wheelchair. So embarrassing! Anyways, Eric took me to my clinic and my dr squeezed me in during lunch. Did an X-ray, not broken just a blunt force trauma to the knee. Gave me crutches and Advil. I haven't been using the cruthes as I am able to bear weight and I will only consider using them if it gets worse like right after that meeting. So! 2days later I have a bruise that radiates 5-6 inches from the center of the injury, and is still growing while the swollen ness is still there and bad, it is less than the day after. Day after kaylee was already very excited to show and tell about how, "I got a fat lip at the ice show last night" sadly, she's said she never wants to go skating again though I told her this is not an option, that we will use the supports next time for her and that her daddy will be there. So we'll see, I'm looking forward to when our injuries fade and we're back on the ice.
