Not The Best End Of The Year

I did a stupid thing this morning. While I was going downstairs to make my first coffee, I have missed the last step and I have hit my right knee very hard. Now it hurts, I can bend it, but it hurts when I put my weight on my right leg. My husband wanted to rush me to the ER, but this is not how I want to spend the end of the year, it's no way either that I go tomorrow, first day of the year. I Google searched, I put ice on the knee and I am resting my leg. I hope the problem will auto-fix in a couple of days. The table is dressed, the dinner is ready, there is no reason not to celebrate. Are you ready to say farewell to the year 2015?

I sure hope you didn't do permanent damage to your knee. The older I get the more damaging a fall can be. We are doing nothing for New Years I leave that to the youngsters. I have seen my share of New Years. I probably won't even be awake at midnight lol.

I hope it's nothing serious, but it surely hurts a lot. The second day of the year, if it still hurts I go to see the doctor.

@LadyDuck yes I would too, we need those knees to walk.

From someone who suffers from knee pain I hope the ice helps. Don't let it go too long without having it looked at if it continues to hurt. Happy New Year Anna

Thank you, tomorrow I do not want to go to the ER, it will be full of people sick because they ate and drunk too much. If I am not better I go after tomorrow.

I cannot think of a worse time to bang your knew than in the morning on your way for your first coffee because it would slow you down and delay the coffee. If you decide to leave things until later due to having a bruised knee, would that qualify as a lame excuse?

@LadyDuck Obviously you need a flight of stairs with one less step, which would have removed the problem completely.

@Asylum The two flights of stairs have 8 steps each, yesterday I said that 7 is my unlucky number... today I missed step number 8 and I hurt my knee on step number 7.

I was at the last step of the first flight of stairs, so I had to go up or down. I decided to go down and make the coffee than look what happened to my knee.

@LadyDuck probably sprained or ligament wound - doesn't sound broken

@arthurchappell No, it's surely not broken, I have experienced a broken elbow and I know how it is painful. I think it's sprained .

I hope too, for the moment it hurts when I bent or extend the leg, let's hope it's only a bruise.

So sorry to read about your little accident. Hoping that it will subside VERY SOON, so you can start the new year on the right foot, or should I say on the right knee?

I hope I will start the year on both my knees, it's difficult to climb the steps not bending the knee.

I am glad that we had nothing planned tonight, only the two of us. My husband is more scared than I am... I do not know if the reason is he thinks he has to help.

@AbbyGreenhill Cleaning the kitchen is not something that my husband can do. It makes a mess when he tries to help and clean nothing.

@LadyDuck My husband likes to help but he's not the best when it comes to cleaning the kitchen after.

I am only two hours from saying goodbye to 2015. But this has been a wonderful year. The end could not be any better. I hope 2016 will be better still

I do hope that your pain subsides down and you have many great days in the year ahead.

@vandana7 Happy New Year to you too dear Vandana. Yesterday and today, I spent almost all of my time with the new born. And I have been a little occupied with some work from my client too. Year end, he gets too much traffic on his website so that needs special attention.

Oh no my Dear, just baby that knee as much as you can. Maybe even bandage it up with an Ace bandage if you are wearing slack. Hope it will get better soon. I am probably sleeping when the New Year rolls in.Happy New Year to you and yours.

I hope it hurts less tomorrow morning. If you banged it but didn't twist it, it's probably just a bruise.

@TheHorse As it was the first day of the year I decided not to go to the ER. During the day the knee improved, now I cam able to climb the steps, even if very slowly. Tomorrow I decide if to go to the Hospital for an X-ray.

@LadyDuck Another thing you could do is use a stretch wrap for around the knee. Not too tight but enough to help lend support for the tendons that wrap around the knee.
