All I wanted for Christmas was an injury-free season

[volklgirl]

I'm once again sitting on the couch using the laptop, this time with the left leg wrap in an immobilizer.

Why is it that "Follow me, this will be fun" always ends badly???? I'm thinking that an audible "pop" is never a good thing.

X-Rays are clear and ER says it's a ligament sprain, but based on my previous experience with a torn right ACL, I think I've got at least a partial ACL and/or MCL tear. Trying to ski to the bottom revealed significant instability, but swelling and discoloration has been minimal so far.

OK....done whining now (for today, at least )

 

[ski now work later]

hopefully the injury isn't too serious....

Oh No! Good luck for a speedy recovery.

 

[altagirl]

Nooooo.... fingers crossed it's nothing serious.

 

[Sheena]

Oh no. Ditto above - fingers crossed that all is OK!

 

[PNWSkier]

Hoping for a quick recovery for you and only a sprain!

Famous last words. Hope it's nothing too serious and that you'll have a speedy recovery.

:( Are you going for an MRI, too, or straight to PT?

This really sucks. So sorry!

 

[marge]

Oh NO!!! I didn't even get to find you at Crystal yet. :( I hope it's nothing too horrible. *pray* Keep it up, keep some ice on it, and get some rest. I hope it heals quickly. *pray*

What a way to start a holiday!!

Rest up and get the pro's to look at it!

 

[pinto]

So sorry to hear. Hope it's milder than it seems at this point.

"Follow me, this will be fun"

Uh huh. Yeah, I've heard this one before too. Let me guess, coming from DH or BF? These have ended badly for me as well.

Wish you a speedy recovery!

I know everyone says that. But I learned this when after my first knee injury, my general practitioner kept insisting that my fully torn ACL was "only a sprain". Technically, he was right. "Sprain" just means that a ligament was stretched beyond it's capacity - which can mean it was slightly stretched and it's no big deal or fully torn - anywhere in that range is still a sprain.

Basically "just a sprain" has been removed from my vocabulary ever since.

I see "my" ortho tomorrow morning (he really needs to offer me some frequent flier miles or something !), so I'll follow his advice to a tee as usual.

 

[Bing]

So sucks - hoping that you recover quickly !!!

 

[num]

So sorry to hear this, VG. Hope the ortho visit goes well.

Tons of healing vibes heading your way.

Yeah, I've got one of those loyal customer cards with mine, you know, where after the 10th visit, the 11th is free.

Good luck at the appt.

You are soooooooooo not done whining!

I'll call you for a girls movie night some time soon. Which side of the aisle do we need to sit on?

 

[ScottishGirlie]

Oh no.

Really hope you have a speedy recovery.

Take care.

My heart sank when I read the title of this thread. This is just a bummer, bummer, bummer! Very best wishes for fast healing.
