Take my knee…Please

Written by Aaron on November 8, 2006 |

Well Sunday night around 10 I went to stand up and my left knee suddenly hurt… this was different from normal because usually it is my right knee and I can simply straighten it and it pops(audibly) back in. After a few attempts to get it to pop back in I got a lift to the emergency room and sat for a couple of hours waiting for an x-ray.

They say I sprained my knee and prescribed Vicodin, Ibuprofen, and put my leg in a frikkin’ immobilizer, and told me to stay off of it (they gave me no crutches however, curse them). I bought myself a cane so I can get around, and diagnose the most mysterious medical cases ever seen on Tuesday nights (I really hope somebody gets the “House” reference) or shake said cane at the blasted punk kids that skateboard on my lawn.

I visited a general care doctor Monday morning and she told me to go to an orthoscopic specialist, where I have an appointment to get checked out next Wednesday. I guess if I had paid more attention when my brother Stef was getting his knees worked on I’d have a better idea what exactly I was in for, I’d be willing to bet I’m in the same sort of situation. Heh look at that, 30 and still getting hand-me-downs, luckily knee problems never go out of style and these fit just fine.
