I dislocated my knee yesterday and now resting. I am soooo bored. Stuck on the couch doesn't make you really tired for bed. How is your night?

    Oh man, that does not sound fun! I had reconstructive foot surgery 2.5 years ago after a bad car wreck (3 screws in right foot now)... I couldn't walk for about 5 months or so and was back at home with my parents. I had cabin fever like no other.

    Being injured sucks lol.

    Fortunately unfortunate I have hyper mobility. Great for yoga. Horrible when you want your joint to function properly. This is the 4th time I have down this to my knee. They push for surgery but I opt for physical therapy each time. My brother has had 2 surgeries for the same condition (except the shoulder) and has little success and he is just 23.

    I know, with so much time and unable to move around what else is there to do, but to go to that ice-cream....in my case was the ice-cream and a couple of beers

    Pretty good. Ate dinner with the fam, went to a friends house from work..drank a bit , talked about renovating the restaurant, new menu items etc.

    Then watched Blues Brothers. One of my favorite movies of all time.

    Well that makes sense. I can imagine if I was in that position I would want the least amount of trouble.

    road bike. I have been on vacation for a week. I brought my bike and rode it in the rain on a sandy road. Tore it up1 so I had to clean and lube it and make sure everything was tight so I can ride tomorrow.

    Now I am sitting here waiting to get tired enough to fall asleep. Maybe I will catch up on Breaking bad. I missed last week and have to watch it before this weeks season ender.

    I'm stuck at work too. Only 10 and a half hours left. Wish I didn't have to be here and could be home in bed but bills have to get paid.
    I'm a private nurse so I don't even have a fun job. Have to sit on a couch all night and watch someone sleep. It gets really old some nights just trying to stay awake.

    I will likely have to eventually have knee surgery as well. Subluxing patellas here, so I can kinda relate, though I'm typically out for 2-3 months at a time if I have a bad dislocation. Last time they swore I had torn my patellar tendon, but luckily it was just a bad subluxation. The worst is that when they swell, it's with blood not fluid, so it takes extra time for the swelling to go down :sad:

    Toughest part of this job is staying awake, its a mind set I guess to handle it. but it pays the bills so I will stick with it.

    :grumble: I just finished some homework. More to do - but it will keep until tomorrow. I have the day off thanks to being employed at a federal facility. :bigsmile:

    Next month - when I have to use my PTO or make up the 8 hours off for Veterans Day - I won't be so smiley. :huh:

    I wish I had something witty to say, but I've been up since 1:30 with 2/4 kids vomiting every 20-45 minutes. Good times, good times...
