I didn't get a chance to post over the weekend because I had fourteen people come over for lunch on Sunday. It was a lot of work but also a lot of fun. Thankfully my knee held up but it reminded me all day (with a dull ache), that things are still not 100%. Walking around in heels probably didn't help either. Today, I'll be convalescing in my slippers and drinking tea.
Anyway, here's what my knee (or should I say 'leg') has been doing these past few days...
Day 4: The big itch.
My leg has been itching me all day and not in the 'pass the ointment I have a weird rash' kind of way. The muscles itch/ache. It's not easy to explain, but I just have this need to stretch my leg muscles and to lock my knee out and run. But I don't of course because, duh, it hurts when I do. But still, despite the pain, I itch to stretch out the muscles. *sigh*Oh and yes, that is my cat Oska, inspecting my toes....
"Stop that. That tickles!"
^..^ "Meow."
"What do you mean my feet stink?!" *shoo--*
^..^ *Hisss*
:P
Day 5: Down you go.
Well, it looks like I'm at the green / yellow stage (yeah!) around my knee. Hopefully that means things are almost fixed in there. As for the swelling, it's gone down a lot more too. However, I'm getting some funky dark colors appearing all the way down the inside of my leg. My initial injury was to the side of the knee, but the contusion extends much further. I guess when I got hit, I must have broken enough blood vessels to extravasate ;) blood all the way down my leg. The leg still itches but a little less than yesterday. On the plus side, I can go up the stairs just about normally now.
Day 6: What the hell is this?!
I've got new bruises popping up on the top of my leg down my shins.
What the hell?
When did this happen? I was on my feet all day yesterday and I wonder if that has anything to do with the arrival with these new guests? *sigh*
