The Knee

So work had been going great busy but great until last Thursday. My kids have been learning about their shapes and Fall it is hard to believe that they have been in school for almost two months and it is time to start testing and filling out check list so I and their parents can see how much they have progressed. But now back to the title of the blog. On Thursday I tripped over one of my students and landed on my knee. When I landed I was on a concrete floor. I did not land on the kid and she is OK. That was the good thing. When I landed my knee twisted and my leg went to a dead weight. With time I was able to get myself up off the floor. My class was taken on to lunch with another teacher. I went to the hospital with my Mother-in-Law Rosana. I am so thankful that she was there for me. I was a bit on the hard headed side. I would not tell Jon were I was going because I did not think that he could leave work during Training. I would have called him if something was broken or torn or out of place. I had an OK experience in the E.R. up til the time that they had to wrap my knee. I got called back really quickly, the doctor was in the room when I got there, He felt the sides of my knee no pain there so tendinitis were affected so that was good. He sent me for x-rays. When I was about to leave to have the x-rays done the registration lady came in they were being very efficient which is something that I love. I came back from x-rays and about 15 to 20 min later the doctor came back to tell me that nothing was broken. Another bit of good news. He said that it was a knee sprain. Now I have never heard of someone that had done that but yes I did that to my self. That is me I will always find a new way to hurt my self or get hurt. So this is the point where I got less impressed with the E.R. staff after the doctor left it took 45 min or longer for someone to come in and wrap. It was so long that I had to go pee and I had to call someone to come help me out of the bed not because I could not move my self but because the left the rails up and I could not get them down. So they sent in two male nursers in that was funny to me so I told them that I could not get the rail down so they put it down a pointed me in the direction of the bathroom. Can I say that it is not easy to go pee when you can not bend your knee. So when they finally came in and wrapped my knee I asked about work. They said I could go as long as I did not take the strong pain pills. So the next morning I went back to work that may have been a bad idea. I was hurting by the time I got home. So today I am just trying to rest be cause I want to go to work on Monday it is party day for Halloween and I am so excited about it.
