i am having to take a break from hamstering for a week or so so my knee can heal. I went ice skating thursday night with my friends Alex, Steve, and Tiff. I have known alex for 15 years, and steve i just met - he lives in teh dorm next to alex. Both of them have been playing hockey since they were 6-7. (for the record, i played street hockey for one year).
I'm really good at ice skating, you would think i wouldn't fall, right?.. well.. steve and alex decided to spray tiff and i with snow. Except Steve was on rental skates, not his skates, and his blade caught and his feet shot out from underneath him and took me down HARD. I remember being upright, then the sound of my right knee SMACKING the ice with a CRUNK. i balled up and started crying, it hurt. then iced it.. was bummed with not being able to skate it and said "screw this".. and went and skated - they laughed at me for not continuing to ice it.
well.. yesterday (pardon long winded).. my knee swelled up to twice its size. I couldn't walk. the dr. at the health center wrote me a script for darvacet. told me to ice it. wrote me an excuse out of work. told me not to hamster for a week.. i'm sad.
but my knee isn't broken, just a nice, solid purple. Since I live on the 4th floor, i was getting carried up the stairs by Steve. he feels really bad, but we are all blaming the skates and not him - if he'd been on his own skates, everything would have been fine and he would have stopped. but i want to hamster!
