Oops I Did It Again, Sort Of

Ten years ago (I say ten because it’s easier than 9 and 3/4 or whaterver it was) I tore the muscle in my left knee while attempting to sit down on the floor. Which led to a knee immobilizer and crutches for two weeks.

Today I bruised my right knee cap attempting to put SuperChic’s booster seat into Ladybug’s Pilot. How would one do that you ask? By being just clumsy enough, which unfortunately I am.

While walking around the car my left foot managed to land on the edge of the driveway, which led to my left ankle giving way and allowing my right knee to land on the edge of the driveway. Needless to say I hit the ground hard, beings that I didn’t see it coming so I wasn’t able to break my fall.

This led to Ladybug yelling for Tom and Shawn to come quick because I like an idiot fell. (Not that she called me an idiot, I just feel like one). I cried and attempted to breathe while they picked me up and got me into the car. Because I was still going to Home Depot for the Kid’s Clinic because I promised we would.

Ladybug drives us all over to HD, I wobble out of the car, plop myself on the grpound and proceed to make a bird house with SuperChic. Rapunzel managed to make hers about 99.5 percent on her own, she only needed a little help with the roof, while Malfoy (not his real name) needed some major assistance. All the while I’m sitting on the ground with frozen peas on my knee and sweat rolling down my face, because It was 102.6 outside. But we did it, I managed to keep my promise. Which was the whole point of insisting on going.

So when we got home Shawn took me to the ER which led to another knee immobilizer and set of crutches. Not to mention two days off of work, on labor day weekend. When I’m the garden opener on both days.
