drownedinlightYesterday, my mom came into my room and asked me to help her shovel the steps in the driveway. Now, I'm always really careful on the snow and the ice, and I haven't slipped in years, but as my mom told me I could stop, and I went back up to the house, I slipped and my knee cap just went with me. At first my mom thought that I had acutally broken my femur, but such was not the case as you could see my knee cap sticking out from under my skin. If i had not been in such excrusiating pain, I would have liked to get a picture of it. Anyway, we actually had to call 911, and they sent the fire truck.
Since my knee cap popped back into place just a minute after it popped out, the firemen and paramedics didn't have much to do, except check on me, and move me into the house (that's right, I was lying in the driveway for about a minute). So, my blood pressure was good (they took it again later and it was only a little higher), and because I could wiggle my toes and I didn;t pass out when the cap slipping occured, they declared me good, but advised I go to the hospital to get checked out anyway. So, Mom and I spent about an hour and a half in the hospital. I had no broken bones and I got a split that slips off of my leg no matter what I do.
My sister and I have decided that Hallowe'en is not a good holiday for me: six years ago, I hydroplaned why stepping off of a curb and face planted int the pavement. I broke a nerve in my mouth and had to have a tooth removed. so yeah, thanks halloween. at least this year I can eat candy though.
