playing musical chairs

Can you believe that someone actually twisted their knee playing musical chairs with other adults? Lol
  Yup I sure did. I was doing good until I collided with a guy as we were trying to get the last seat avaliable. It happened so fast. The next thing I knew was that I was on the ground in excruciating pain.  
The guy felt so bad and kept apologizing but I told him I'll be fine. He said he used to play football and other sports...and the competitiveness got the best of him. Lol I'll be ok. Just can't believe I got injured with a childhood game.

I'm keeping an eye on my knee. It's hard to walk. If it gets worse I'll Probably go to urgent care.

Part 2 of "can you believe someone hurt themselves playing musical chairs?"

Well thankfully my Honey Timothy Carroll took me to Urgent care yesterday  and each receptionist or check-in employee,  doctor, specialists, etc...  all had the same question: " why are you here? And how did you hurt yourself?"

"Yes Doctor (or receptionist,  specialist,  Xray tech,  etc...), I am here because I twisted my knee,  ...umm...eeehh... by playing musical chairs."

... yes everyone laughed and one even asked "well, did you win?"  I said no... so this was funny yet a little embarrassing.  But yes it was funny... I'm still laughing between the moans of pain.

Doctor said the bursa sac in my knee bursted causing major swelling. Also have a torn ligament and a slight tibia lower leg/ knee fracture.

So I have new  accessories that are awkward and trying to get used to.  ..yup crutches that ride my arm pits and a lovely, heavy immobilizer brace for knee and leg all for 4-6 weeks. Oh yeah. 

Please keep me in prayer.  
I have already fell flat on my face once trying to use the crutches, thankfully a couch caught me. I decided I was so worn out and in too much pain  to get up that I just slept.  I did turn over so i could breathe.  Lol

And my fibro is inflamed in different spots due to the crutches and immobilizer.  No fun. I'm trying to find ways to do daily tasks like getting dressed,  or bending down to feed the cats etc... it's weird how we take things for granted and just do things without even thinking how we are doing them until we can't or have to find a different route.
yet I can't wait till this too shall pass.
