well i dislocated my knee last night. just popped right on out. Fun in the ER and I might need surgery. Awesome.
Mikayla had knee surgery in January this year for her kneecap dislocating.
If you have any questions, ask away. Recovery from knee surgery is not fun, but for her it's really feeling good about 10 months later.
Also, John Hurley in Morristown Memorial Hospital is widely regarded as the best knee surgeon in NJ. A bit of a trip for you, but a consultation might be worth it.
thanks! yeah i hope to see an orthopedist and get an mri asap. and hopefully it's not bad enough for surgery. Sucky thing is, I still hve a couple weddings to do thsi year
when it happened I snapped my knee right back into place.. when I think about that.. ha that was pretty crazy
Actually I think that gets you the redsweater "Hardcore" medal
ha it's probably because i was in shock and didn't feel the pain yet. If I didn't reset it and waited till an hour later in the ER, that prolly woulda hurt like crazy
ohhh, nooo. you have to get it fixed.
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.
me too!!!
did it swell up like crazy right after it happened? when i tore my ACL my knee swelled up like mad immediately after. that's because if you tear a ligament it starts bleeding, and all of that blood goes into your knee.
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.
well even if your ACL is torn, which it doesn't sound like it is, you may not even need surgery. the ACL will never heal by itself if it is totally torn, but plenty of people get by without getting the surgery.
how exactly did you hurt yourself, and which part of your knee did you hurt?
i either got kicked, tripped on something, or just lost my footing, at a concert. my kneecap popped out of place and was on the side of my leg. I popped it back in. Stood up. couldn't walk. got carried out. Oh yeah, that was fun.
you feeling a little better? and whens your ortho appt again?
yeah it's a little better, ortho appt. is today. woot.
Anyone who is young and plans on being active, needs an ACL. You can't play sports without it.
yeah you can. if you strengthen your quads and hamstrings enough they will compensate for it. but the risk of injuring something else is greater if you don't get surgery, and you can't play sports super hardcore without an ACL.
Its a stabilizing ligament. Without it you can lose balance more easily and yes hurt something else.
i don't think stabilizing ligament is a technical term. anyway most people don't play a lot of sports so the surgery would not be worth it for them, because of the down time and the rehab. it's like 6 to 9 months before you can be pretty active again.
I'm just telling you what my doctor told me. Without ligaments like an ACL, your knee is no longer stable. I think Jah put it there for a reason. Its not like it's a spare part.
we have plenty of parts we don't need. like the appendix, or the tonsils.
so are you saying that because drs tell us that we dont need them means that jeh just was bored and threw a few spare parts into us just for the fun of it?
no, all im saying is that you can live without them. i would get the surgery because i like to play sports. a lot. most people don't play a lot of sports though, so the surgery might not be worth it for them. there is a lot of down time and rehab involved, that some people do not have the time for. some people can't afford to take that much time off...
so sit and rotate!
You can live without it, but any sports or activities that require pivoting and quick movements become difficult thereafter and you will mess up the bone structure of your knee over time.
yeah, that exactly what i said dum dum. do you even read other peoples posts before you start arguing with them?
I simplified it young one. I figured thats what you said, but you may have made it sound to some that you don't need an ACL at all. It has its purpose.
thanks, old one!
lol and what is the technical term Doogie Howser??
i think chris chelios played for a whole season without any ligaments in one of his knees
new Jimmy Eat World!
katie! are you gonna come see them nov 9 with us?
i was about to listen to the new album
they're live (right now) on the radio station i listen to. they're lame. lol i never liked them.
Clarity is one of my top ten favorite albums.
ya know what, i think it is, the lead singers voice is SO whiny. annoyingly whiny.
it is? you havent heard half of the other bands out there. it gets a lot more whiny than jim adkins...
i really liked bleed american alot, i wasn't crazy about futures, but there's some ok stuff on it.
we stopped by a yard sale out in service and i got a new looking bread machine for $2.50!!! I'm excited to try it out!

Soooo crazy.... i was walking down the street and i snapped this picture on my phone.... crazy!

"When you make a decision in life like moving across the country for someone you love what you really need is a big fat guy with a tuxedo and a hophat to step out of your closet and go, 'MISTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!', then go back in, suit up and wait for you to screw up again."

wait where is this from, this was on Scrubs
You are one of the many people to tell me this. This is a comedian and its a skit he did like in '93 so i think he must have been a writer for this episode. He wrote for the simpsons too.
WOW haha that's pretty coolllllllllllllllllll
yessssss. Its Dana Gould, my favorite comic
similar to scrubs, on scrubs he was an opera singer too
"The son of Sam. His neighbors dog told him to kill people. But did it also tell him dog stuff too? 'Kill the blonde David. The blonde who works at the library is evil. And that squirrel who lives over the garage, oooo how i hate that squirrel!"

"I love LA because it is a very liberal town, but its extremely hypocritical in what it chooses to be liberal about. You could be driving through west Hollywood and see a guy in high heels and a fur coat wearing lipstick (humping) a mailbox...People are yelling at him, 'HEY! Is that real fur?'"
DG
haha all this church sign crap is hysterical
dude, i cut yours and gina's head out of another picture and that sexy body you have there... hand crafted in glorious Paint Brush, baby.
Ladytron is so good. Seventee.
RUSH SUCKS
I'm going to learn how to knit!
ohhh, can i have a scarf? Black & purple with some small amount of gold thread going through it. haha
i think im going to make a comforter
i admire ones who knit. im SO ADD and impatient that it doesn't work for me. i tried it and wanted to seriously poke my eyes out with the knitting needles (or what ever they're called)
I need you to knit shut, the mouths of Rush bashers.

man i just got an email about all these amazingly cheap flights to brazil starting at like $500.i'm ow reconsidering the safety issues involved.
Lauren got the same email ... or a similar one from TravelZoo
it's got Newark to Costa Rica for $188 Roundtrip
I want to go to Costa Rica SOOOOOOO bad
that cheap? NO WAY! i want to live in costa rica!
Nah... That's a fortune. Only if Rush is playing.
uhh i wouldn't go if rush was playing, i'd stay home and babysit my neighbor's fish or something becuase that would be more exciting
Please... And yet you'd probably go if some band no one has ever heard of is playing... Get a clue.
For certain.
yeah i saw that one. you guys gonna go? a friend just got back from unassigned territory in costa rica and said how its one of the most beautiful places ever. a little backwards. but gorgeous.
my sisters bro in law took this in utah a few weeks ago
I'm not sure if this is a joke or not, but it wouldn't surprise me that baptists would be JW's, they have very similar beliefs and understandings IIRC
yeah he snapped the shot as they were driving by. who knows but who would go through ALL that trouble to change the sign. lol
i guess u know already that it's fake, but i wonder why he told u that he took the pic, just to joke w u?
are you really that lazy that you cant type out 3 more letters for the word "with"?

About as lazy as you are to pick up weight.

hahaha! i was just about to do a mock-up myself! and what the heck is an ezabel? is it an oil conglomerate or power company or something?
okay, the dyson vacuum is seriously amazing. i just got it today, and am so excited about it that i just finished vacuuming my entire house at 11pm.
We have a carpeted hallway that is maybe 10ft long by 3ft wide that i just vacuumed about 4 days ago....just once down that hallway with the dyson, it picked up so much stuff, the container had to be emptied. how cool is that!?!? i love you dyson animal.
wow you're so ... housewife-ish
bring back the punk shows, Jahanna
hahha. i know, it's so weird i'm excited about a vacuum. well, don't start worrying until i'd RATHER vacuum my house than go to a show. :)
i just ordered a vacuum yesterday too
Which one did you order?
yes... i finally did it... i dropped my phone in the toliet today...

Wow. I really like this song. Soulsavers featuring Mark Lanegan. It's like cool water.
I don't know what to eat for lunch, any suggestions?
i had a co-worker order a chicken cutlet/fresh mozz/roasted red pepper sammy with balsamic vin. killer!

this sounds AMAZING....
your face is good math
i'm getting tunnels in my ears tonight. and i'm going to drink guinness. i'm inspired.

I see her twirling clockwise. Guess I'm a genius. haha...
Oof at first, I saw her turning counter clockwise. Now I see her turning clockwise and can't go back to counter clockwise.
ha yeah same thing happened to me
just clikc her and she changes direction duh
thats not true
i'm seeing it clockwise... i can't get it to change
ok figured it out... stare at the legs until it looks like it's switching back and forth, that's how you can make it switch
just click fool
what? it's an optical illusion. the point is how your brain interprets it
uhm yeah or .. when you click, she changes direction.
read the comments below.
you're wrong you're wrong you're wrong you're wrong you're wrong you're wrong you're wrong you're wrong you're wrong you're wrong
YOU'RE WROOONNNGGGGGG
haha... i was thinking of this exactly when i typed that
i see it moving clockwise, but i can get it to switch directions. that is pretty cool.
no you cant, you lie.
Clockwise. I can't see her going anti-clockwise for the life of me.
partying in: pratically empty venues > crowded, sweaty, no room venues.
that's some good math, kemosabe
so today I reached an internet milestone - I edited my first Wikipedia entry! WOOHOO!
I heard the Buena Vista Social Club's Rhythms del Mundo: Cuba album (spanish lounge music over other artists, it's weird but good, really enjoyable) and there's a track of Jack Johnson's voice over spanish music - so I added it to the Jack Johnson Wikipedia entry.
ok yeah, i re-read this post and it's not as exciting as I originally thought
NerdLevel++
sweet! I got more points!
i realized this weekend that i care even less about watching sports on TV than I previously thought, every time someone mentioned the latest score of the Yankees game I'd say "hey do you have a life?"
i was actually pretty angry on saturday, so take that with a grain of salt
i was playing baseball for the first time with some friends from the hall, and they were being brutal to the little kids
one of the dads would be like "easy out - double play" every time a kid came up, then he'd be super hardcore on that play, like it was the major leagues and he just saved his team the game
so annoying ... where's the fun people
show some love
YOU SO WHITE AND NERDY!!!!!!
speaking of Jack Johnson, is that his voice on the Fruity Cheerios commercial?
so I bought an MP3 album from Amazon.com. $8.99 for a plain old high-quality MP3, can play on anything. no restrictions.
it downloaded very nicely, took like 20 seconds, and it can put it right into iTunes for you. very impressed.
A+++++ would buy again!!!!!!!11
thank you...
now upload to ftp. stat.
no uploading needed, it's already there. /mp3, sort by date descending
Ok, so someone talk. Need to be livened up. Mike, make fun of me or something. haha...
Thought of a cool new band name the other day
More Planes Than People
just need to figure out how to make a million bucks off that name and I'll be good
As your Red Sweater consultant, I'd advise against this. LOL!
if Rush had that name, they would still be crappy
Don't you have some 1 foot tall ripples in the Atlantic to surf?
You stole that from my call the other day didn't you?
D Pilipenko's mom was looking up in the sky the other night after the bookstudy and commented on all the planes in the sky. "More planes than people."
Great band name.
so this isnt your idea... therefore you stole it
good job plagiarizing zabel... GOOD job
So drained today... Gotta stay off the phone at 2am...
talking to your lady i assume? lol
Yup. Haha... She's a chatterbox. LOL!
are you guys in the same time zone? one of my ex's lives in hawaii and he was always all chatty and i was all sleepy cause he was always 2 or 3 hours behind me. lol
Yeah we are both in EST. She's moving up here next month. Her parents live in Phillipsport, NY and have an extra house for her and her son to live in. I get to see her this weekend in Ft Lauderdale and next weekend she will be in NY. After that I prob won't see her again until she moves.
I did fall asleep one time while she was talking tho. LOL
so she's moving from Ft Lauderdale to NY? no way. that'll be good for the 2 of you.
Well, she's originally from NY. She grew up in Rockland. She's wanted to move back, now she has a good excuse. hehe
cmon dan what are you two 16? lol
Haha... Maybe
I will withhold my sarcasm to first to say congrats. Where in Rockland? I used to work in Rockland and was in a band there for like 4 years
Nanuet
ahh good times there
Lake Minnewaska in NY. Very beautiful.
Jessie, Anthony, and I last weekend at a state park in NY.
um did you and your girl have a baby? LOL
Haha... No, he comes with the girl. LOL
nice pic!
you're a giant!
Well I guess us giants like tiny women. LOL!
HAHAHAHA this totally made me laugh *sorry broman, but its hilarious*
LOL! Sure... You just paste funny heads on the males...
i decided the pretty lady gets a break... besides it got a little crowded in there
Jessie says this is a work of art. LOL!
Glad she likes it! lol
yea 02 is such a sweet venue.
I wanted Prince tickets so bad.
Purple rain inside O2 would be nuts.
Haven't been in O2 but looked at their website last night... it look so Modern Tokyo... very awesome! The venue looks unreal! Never knew what was going on in that bubble. I should've definately seen Prince during the 20 day residency or whatnot. hrm. You've been in O2 then... who did you see there? Stupid Ticketmaster... they almost made me loose on tickets to The Verve altogether just cause the Int'l shipping option wasn't listed on the O2 show. Will be sweet seeing them in their hometown tho. We'll see tho, maybe I'll find someone to trade an O2 ticket with 'cause my original 3 day stay has already turned into like a 12 day stay since the shows are so spread out. If I get O2 I'll make the stay shorter to cut down on costs and loose less workdays.
beyonce's got competition
i dont' think i'm ready for this jelly
I'm surprised his pants didn't split open when he squatted. LOL!
oh what do you know. it actually does say ' behavorial health' on the insurance card.
congrats to tony as well
I hope you are convinced by the psychiatrist to reply to comments by using the 'reply' icon. LOL!!!
Im so excited....one of my close friends, tony, got reinstated last night!! WOOOOT!
how does one go about getting a physchiatrist...
is that covered under medical insurance?
do i just visit my hmo dr. first and say " ahh i'm crazy.. i'm going to stab bunnies"... then they refer you?
Look on your insurance card. It should have something about mental health services.
yeah theres usually a separate # for that. and no you dont have to go to your primary dr.
i'm not sure gina... i want to... now!
thinking about vegas in 3 weeks.. maybe stop by socal
i'll be in vegas the first weekend in nov. shoot for that...

We have unlimited sick days at work ... and I definately use them for
