So it's been about a month since I dislocated my patella. YAY. I'm still in the leg brace, and not really enjoying it, however, I do have one calf of steel! Next week is a busy week, and I plan on trying to walk before then. I have graduation on Monday, prom on Tuesday and my first Physiotherapy appointment on Wednesday. After talking to an orthopedic surgeon at Cheo I found out I need 6 weeks of physio, followed up by another appointment, if the physio doesn't seem to be helping, I will need surgery, on both legs, either to shorten my tibia, or to shorten the legament that holds my patella in place.
There's nothing more fun than hurting yourself.
On a brighter note, I have a full time job (almost) I have to go get my criminal record check tomorrow, but after that I will be starting at a call centre on June 26th. Until then, I have no money, unless Uncle Dar is going to pay me for babysitting his kid.....
I never fail to surprise myself though. After about a week of complaining that I couldn't walk around as much as I'd like, I said "Screw it" and walked around all I wanted. So, I baked. Oh boy did I bake. Right up to the point where my teachers decided even though I had a doctors note to stay home, I still needed to do all the assignments that were given. So I had to do a tape sculpture, a portfolio, a three minute long stop-motion video, a three minute long commercial, design a website, plan a business for my baking class, and write my written exam for baking class. This was all in the span of about.... two weeks. What proves that I am absolutely amazing, I finished them all. Early. Therefore, I am officially finished high school for the remainder of my life, and I am enjoying every minute of it!
Yes, Dr. Hing is still there, and he's still an asshole.

Be very careful! I did the same thing in grade 1, jumping knees first into the snow bank while waiting for the school bus. A little off this tibia, a little off that tibia and next you know it, your my height!
ReplyDeleteDidn't really think of the hight thing, I just want the pain to go away in my knees :P
