Impeccable timing

Why did this sort of thing have to happen right before the Christmas rush? Right when I had a lot of extra hours (and pay) lined up and when the boss desperately needs and extra person.

Bah. On the bright side I get a Christmas holiday now.

I'll posting some photos and story soon, depending on how slow this damn laptop decides to be.

I hope I can make myself lunch today...

Leg poll

I've noticed that when I sleep on my back (one of the two positions I'm able to sleep in at the moment), my legs flop outwards, i.e. my feet and knees are facing outwards instead of up, which means my leg is twisted around instead of straight. I realised that the outer muscle must be pulling outwards against the inner one. I've subsequently been conciously trying to keep my legs straight in the hopes that it may strengthen that wussy inner muscle just a little. I was wondering if this twisting was normal, or if it's all part of my general knee problem.

Pygmalion

God I love Rex Harrison. Did he do any other musicals apart from My Fair Lady and Dr Dolittle?

I'm watching My Fair Lady. He plays such a chauvanistic pig and does it so well, has me in stitches.

My God I am bored.

Ever wanted to know what a dislocated knee looks like?

( Not for the squeamish )

And this is me now, crutches and huge knee brace. My God it's hard to do anything vaguely useful when you can't bend your knee and have to hold onto crutches all the time. All I want is to at least do stuff in the kitchen, and I can't even do that. :(

An update

I have to wear this brace for at least 2 weeks, they told me that at the hopsital.

My initial appointment with an orthapedic surgeon is on the 27th.

I guess if I have an op it'll involve tightening the tendon over my knee (the one the kneecap forms from), and possibly tightening the inner muscle. I'll find out for sure when I talk to the expert.
