I heard it POP.




{location: ER..Friday morning..hey, at least I've got my coffee...}


I know, I've been MIA friends.
for good reason...I promise.



Do you remember last week when I mentioned I had my first indoor soccer game of the season?

Well, a girl on the other team decided to take her sucky soccer skill frustrations out on me and to go straight for my knee. It all happened so fast and before I knew it I was laying on the ground on the field sobbing and not being able to move my left leg. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Just my luck! Even though I have played soccer pretty much my whole life, I've luckily never had a bad injury...until now. I decided to play it like the true cool cat that I am and come home from the game and rest it, versus going to the Emergency Room. Not a good idea.

That morning (Friday) I woke up to my whole leg swollen, not being able to feel my toes, and in extreme pain. Several Vicodin's later, I was feeling high as a kite, as Billy would say ha ha. They took x-rays and determined that nothing was broken, but referred me to do an orthopedic doctor who would tell me if I had a meniscus or ACL tear. They gave me a huge leg brace that is totally not fashion forward, a pair of crutches, and an approximate time that it will take for me to heal: 3-6 long, boring, painful, weeks. 

No working out.
No running.
No soccer games.

aka


pure heartbreak for me.


In the mean time, my mind is planning sweet revenge on the girl who did this to me. 
I mean....no, I'm not bitter at all. not at all.



I'm not sure if I can blame these thoughts on the vicodin or not. No, she never apologized to me OR asked me if I was OK either. #whatawitch. Anywho, it's not in my genes to stay at home, sit in on the couch, and watch tv. I would actually much rather be at work. I love being active and I'm going crazy already...this damn injury SUCKS!


Let's fast forward to this morning: I went to the orthopedic doctor thinking I would get an MRI and finally know what kind of damage I did, but it turns out I have to wait until tomorrow to get an MRI, and then some more time to actually find out the results. The orthopedic doctor did tell me it's not my ACL, but said it could be a medial meniscus tear. I'm also having severe pain behind my knee so I'm having to rest all the time and elevate my leg as much as possible.


So not what I had planned for this past weekend and for the weeks to come.




Billy (and my Rocky) were wonderful this past weekend and haven't left my side. Rocky kept wanting to sit on the couch with me but when he couldn't, he just laid right below me on a blanket, and kept looking up as if to check on me..so cute. On Saturday, Billy built us a a fire pit for our backyard that he knew I had been wanting, so that we could have a fire Saturday night and make s'mores. He knows chocolate will make me feel better.





Although I'm not able to walk much, it was such a sweet gesture and we had a great weekend of roasting mallows and watching every movie in our collection. I'm planning on resting up a lot this week in hopes that I can attend some of my girlfriends Halloween parties this weekend {and my Jessie bears BIRTHDAY that I.cannot.miss}, for at least a little bit. I have a fierce costume that I'm still going to try and rock ;) that'll be a surprise.

This girl isn't a debbie downer.




Also, this is very important. I'm having some amazing BLOGGY visitors this weekend....

Guess who?!



and..





Miss Kentucky Priss, aka Jess, is coming BACK to visit me for Round 2 and the fabulous Pink Lou Lou is also coming to Columbus to visit for the first time. Amazeballs, right?! I can't wait to finally meet my gf Allie and to see Jess again! 

....crutches and all ;)


but wait, where is this gal.....




Like myself, you may be wondering where my other bff Steph is. I'm wondering too. Girl keeps blaming it on the plane tickets, but I mean, I WAS in her wedding, least she can do is get her butt here for Halloween to cheer me up. Don't ya'll agree?! 

I will try and post more this week, but forgive me if I'm absent here and there. I still plan on reading all your posts while I'm a gimp to keep me from going insane! In the meantime...you can follow me on twitter-here

feelin' a lil loopy so I must go before I say some things I may (or prob not) regret. ta-ta.

  11. like I said on Fbook, soccer is crazy rough! Knee injuries are no fun, I had knee surgery in Aug. 09 and I was a huge baby and milked it for all it was worth haha. So jealous of your blog visitors, Pink Lou Lou is a straight up blog celebrity I would pee my pants if she even entered my part of NC, let alone my house #notobsessedatall. Hope the vicodin helps!

    But at least you have a cute pup and a sweet man to take care of you. I have really been wanting a fire pit lately.. and a Pomeranian too ironically! We played with one last weekend at a pet store. Such a great cuddler!

    Get better soon!

  25. giirrrllll you already know those flights are 'spensive! What's the deal...I mean-are flights to and from Ohio to Texas really THAT hot of an item or what?!

    Anywho-I fully expect more drugged up texts from you and possibly even a vicodin-induced blog post...or two.

    Now that I think about it...right now would be the BEST time to come to OH so I can kick that girls ace for you! WHAT A B! Nonetheless...I hope your team won! PS-tell Billy he better TAKE CARE OF MY GIRL! I'm a good knee-patient-nurse...ask Beau...he's had three. THREE!!

    BTW-Can we talk about how cute you look in your "hospital" outfit?! I would look like total poo and you're lookin' like a pimp...coffee and all.

    xoxo

  26. You poor thing! J has torn both of his ACL's and my brother tore his meniscus last year! So I've heard first hand how painful and terrible knee injuries are. HOW SUCKY! Hopefully you won't need surgery and you will be up and at 'em before you know it! AND, I would be more than willing to find the ho that did this to you and take out both her knees.

  41. So sorry to hear about your knee!! My husband tore his miniscus twice in high school (once playing soccer and once playing baseball) and had to have surgery both times. :( Not fun at all! The good news is that he's still able to ref college soccer, so it's not too terrible to recover from. Hoping your recovery goes by quickly!

    ReplyDelete
  42. OH GOSH! What a bummer! I can't believe she didn't even say sorry either! ew.

    BTW, how do you look so cute with a leg that is so painful? Totally not fair. Maybe that's why she attacked you.
