Thursday morning at work I walking down our suite of offices and the carpet grabbed the toe of my shoe and sent me flying... I tried to break my fall landing on my left elbow and left knee. Fortunatelly none of the guys were in their offices. That saved some embarassment! whew :) I got up, gathered myself together and waited a couple of hours before I told my supervisor. I filed a worker's comp form just to be safe. It immediately felt numb and was quickly swelling.
The next day I made an appointment with the Student Health Center. They took 2 x-rays to be sure it was just a bad sprain and bruise. The Dr. said it would probably be sore for a couple of weeks. I go back again thursday for a follow up. He fitted me with a brace and it has helped. Throughout the weekend the black and blue has moved totally around my knee and leg. It is still numb, but I guess when the swelling is totally gone it will feel normal again. I am a total clutz!! I will be happy to get a good nights sleep again.
Sorry the picture turned out blurry. This wasn't even at it's height of beauty.
