speaking of surgery...

[k23m]

I was just reading Paula's thread about her upcoming surgery...just as I am hoping to not have my own! A couple nights ago I had a soccer game and I dislocated my kneecap - I knew something was wrong so I popped it back in (sorry, gross) but my knee swelled up to the size of a big grapefruit (I have fairly scrawny knees and I couldnt even see my kneecap anymore) so the girls on my team decided they were taking me to the ER. I didnt fight it too much LOL After xays they also found a small bone chip (said that the muscle pulling might have pulled off a piece of bone? ew!) and so now I am sitting in a "knee imobilizer" brace and waiting for an orthopedic specialist to call me. I guess I will be getting an MRI and seeing is I possibly tore my ACL as well. Ugh!! Does anyone know if that means automatic surgery? Or just physio??

Only bonus is I get to sit on the couch/in bed with my laptop all day....and you know what that means! LOL Just wish the pain meds didnt make me so drowsy!
