So I fell at the holiday party on Saturday. No biggie, I was rollerskating along and clipped my own wheels, wasn't even trying anything fancy.
But I landed really hard, straight down, on my left knee.
No kneepads-- I'd meant to put them on, but forgot, and then wasn't really skating much so it wasn't important, I thought. Ha ha ha!
Fishnet burn, which is cute-- nice distinctive pattern on the skin.
But worse, the knee no longer hurts, but I can't bend it 90 or greater. It just doesn't feel right, and then I can't straighten it.
Am trying to sit with leg elevated, but then it's too straight. I need a footrest a little lower than the computer under my desk, or one that supports the whole leg.
I foresee a long, uncomfortable day.
I think I'll be fine, just need a couple days to rest the knee. Which is why it's OK with me that practice was cancelled during yesterday's "blizzard". But it's annoying, and slows me down, and I just don't feel like feeling like this.
Also I'm sore all over from shoveling yesterday.
( snow removal blues )
Anyway. I am mightily annoyed at my knee, as this derails my maniacal fitness regime in preparation for the upcoming roller derby season opener. Also it's uncomfortable.
I feel like I was busy all weekend but I could not point to one thing I achieved. I mean, I got the posters all printed up for the bout, but I didn't get them distributed, so that was pointless. I caught up on sleep, but I am still tired. I spent hours yesterday baking, but didn't make anything particularly good, or at least anything I want at the moment. I just feel like a hamster on a wheel at the moment.

Bleh. Whine, whine, piss, moan, bitch, etc. I just wish my fucking knee didn't bother me like this.
