What a First Week

April 3, 2009 - 4:19 PM

Well I would have pictures for this lovely blog, but it's really kind of embarrassing, so there are no pictures. This has been some first week back. I was having trouble getting readjusted to my new schedule and that made me feel kind of homesick (although I wasn't really homesick, but I don't know how else to describe the feeling). Then I was so tired that I forgot my keys when I went to the shower. That was fun. I had to go down all wet and cold (clothed though!!!) to the area desk to get a spare key to get in. The lady was really nice though and said if I brought them back in a few minutes that she would not charge me the lock out fee. That was so very nice of her. Then last night my knee popped. I thought it was just because they had locked up from sitting in the "criss-cross-apple-sauce" way. Well I couldn't straighten it as of this morning still so I went to the health center. The best the doctor can say is that it popped out of place and apparently back into place and now I have swelling. We are hoping that's what it is at least so I don't have to worry about it being anything more serious. There is always the possibility of a tear or pinch. I am on crutches and have one of those lovely full leg knee immobilizers. Let me tell you, not easy to sit down for food or the bathroom with that thing on. I can't bend my knee even the slightest bit. It is horrible. I never realized how comfortable it is to sit with bent knees until today. Now I double sprained my ankle in eighth grade so walking with crutches is nothing new to me, but walking with crutches to classes that are already a good fifteen minutes to twenty minutes away makes for a longer trek. It should be an interesting few weeks. The doctor says it should be just a few weeks, so that's what I'm hoping for. In the meantime I'm just going to be thankful that it is nothing more harmful than some swelling. My hallmates rock though. They are all willing to help if I need it. I am a very independent person so it is hard for me to have to depend on other people. I need help going anywhere because I live on the third floor and stairs without bending a knee is dangerous and I can't carry food with crutches. Oh well. I feel bad enough asking my family to pity me and help me so much, it is even worse for me having to ask girls my age. I'm sure there are more important things they would rather be doing. Like I said though, oh well. There isn't anything I can really do about it. It is what it is. So I'm going to get a jump start on some homework because my grandparents will be here in the morning and I would like to spend the day with them and not have to do all of my homework on Sunday. So until next time...
