Is it torn or sprained?

Filed under: Family Stuff — February 12, 2007 @ 9:02 am

What to do? Yesterday for 8hrs I sat with my leg up, unable to put very much weight on it. I don’t know if when SK and I were out walking Brutus I pulled or strained or sprained or tore something in my right leg-knee area but I still can’t put weight on my right leg, or bend it to walk. The pain is continuous but far worst when I stand, and trying to walk is out-of-the-question. Of course this didn’t stop me from trying to take a shower this morning—during which time I thought I was either going to get sick to my stomach or pass out—and it didn’t stop me from coming downstairs and telling the boys that today we WILL have school. They figure that since Mom can’t move really well that they get today off.

Hey SK, how about breakfast on the sofa! “No Mom, you need to lose some weight so we aren’t going to feed you.” Now to find the phone and schedule a Dr appointment…..but how to drive ones-self when you can’t move your right leg?

Update: I went to the Dr’s, had x-rays taken and was told to STAY OFF THE LEG, lie around the house, do nothing but rest it. I’m to call back on Thursday if it isn’t allot better, and they will call me if the x-ray finds anything. I don’t think it will. She was able to move my leg all over the place without too much pain.  Just don’t ask me to move it or put weight on it, which makes me think it is a muscle problem.  ugh, I can’t lay around for weeks, I have things to do, a puppy to train, boys to school, places to go,…..
