I sprain my knee on new years eve falling on ice. It's the leg I use to drive on. It hurts
![]() Then my yearly depression is setting in. I really can't stand winter. Christmas was hard financially, had to borrow money to get gifts. I feel like the loser in my family. They are all so much more successful than me. I can't help much with cooking bc of my back so I just sit there peeling potatoes. I dont know, maybe I'm just feeling sorry for myself... It's been 6 days since I fell on my knee. Some days it feels better, but not like I could drive on it. But some days it really hurts. Things could be worse I guess... As far as the depression goes, I just have to power through it. 3 more months and I'll start feeling better in that regard. Sorry for whining. |

I can sympathize. On Christmas night, at Disney World, I fell and tore a large chunk out of my right shin. I bled so much the medics made me go by ambulance to the ER. I got 22 stitches in the thing and then carried on with the vacation somewhat hobbled. Fast-forward to New Year's Day and the wound got infected. I have cellulitis all around it and it's not healing at all. So I had to go to our local ER to get it treated instead of waiting till my doctor appointment this coming week. I was given strong antibiotics and wound care instructions, and I have to see a trauma surgeon to have the dead tissue removed and talk about a skin graft. Oh goody.
Hoping we both heal quickly. Hugs.
