I Am Not At All Happy…

I was on my way out to run an errand this afternoon.

A bunch of snow had slid off the porch roof and landed on the sidewalk.

So as I stepped down and over the snow…

my left foot slid… left

I went down on my right knee…

while my left leg was still headed left…

a direction it isn’t suppose to go…

then it popped…

and I knew at that point I was pretty well screwed… pardon my language.

I pulled my left leg back in front of me and then laid back on the sidewalk… hoping I’d just wake up in bed and it would have just been a bad dream.

I didn’t, it wasn’t… I tried to stand up and found that I could not put any weight on my left leg.  So I called my neighbor to come over with her cane and help me.  She came and after sliding my hinny along the side walk to her car she took me to the ER.

Nice thing about small towns is the ER’s aren’t usually too busy.  I am back home with something to immobilize my knee/leg, a pair of crutches and a phone number to make an appointment with an orthopedic Dr. tomorrow.  Hopefully I can get in on Wed to see someone to find out just how much I screwed up my ACL.

If I wake up tomorrow and figure out it’s been a dream… I’ll let ya know.

I’ve got my fingers crossed… because I can’t cross my legs…
