Twisted my knee the other day. It hurt bad enough I couldn’t even walk on it. Had to take an ambulance to the emergency room because I couldn’t drive myself because of the pain. I got my knee x-rayed and there was no breaks in the knee or bones. There was a lot of swelling. So I got my knee wrapped and some pain pills. I received a prescription for a walker. So I’m renting a walker for now until my knee clears up. I’m also taking over the counter pain pills every few hours. I hope this clears up soon.
Mentally I have managed to stay in high spirits. I am still doing well mentally in spite the pain. I won’t be able to go home for Christmas because of my limited mobility. So I’m spending Christmas at my apartment by myself. My parents have talked about coming to my place in a day or two so we could have a mini celebration. But I’m glad to be back home and on the mend.
Hope you feel much better soon.
RICE: rest it, ice it, compression, elevate it. you are doing the right things. I hope you heal fast!
