I feel awful. (whining. Sorry.)
My knee hurts! Like a lot. (skiing accident and not even a cool one) I have pulled my LCL and MCL and torn my meniscus. I was just told that I will most likely need surgery to fix it. I was also told that it could be a while before I even have the MRI to confirm the need for surgery. Who knows how long until the actual surgery. I have to wear a stupid knee splint and the velcro is scratching the sh!t out of my legs. If I wear it over pants it pulls my pants down and doesn't do the job because it slides down with my pants. The only way to wear it comfortably is by wearing yoga pants with one leg hiked up to just under my and then rolled over the top of the splint. I look stupid, my leg hurts, and now I am stoned on pain killers. I miss my kids. I can't pick them up, I can't crawl on the floor with them to play, I can't kneel down. I mostly stay upstairs in my room with my leg elevated watching TV because the kids expect me to play like I normally do, so they don't understand that I can't run and jump and they can't jump on me. Last night I played tea party on the floor in DD's room and needed pain killers afterwards just from getting down to the floor and getting back up again.
I am bored, I am lonely and I am in pain. The only time I get out of the house is to go to the trainer and go to the doctor. And to add serious insult to injury we were going to start TTC this month. We aren't now. Obviously.

I'm sorry Sammy. That sounds just plain awful.
