well i dislocated my knee last night. just popped right on out. Fun in the ER and I might need surgery. Awesome.
i think i'll be fine. today the swelling is down even more... and I was able to lift my leg, woohoo! and i have an appt. with an orthopedic surgeon tomorrow to assess the damage. I'm very hopeful.

yeah it swelled up pretty bad.. but today the swelling went down even more, and i can lift my leg, and i can bend my knee pretty far. I duno i just keep hoping i won't need surgery.

yeah it's a little better, ortho appt. is today. woot.
