Thursday, March 19th, 2020. So I have some answers. It’s been three weeks since I fell down the stairs in my house. ON LEAP DAY. *hold for laughter* After many appointments and X-rays and finally getting an MRI I have some answers. Nothing is broken. Just some pretty bad strains and tears. Saw a sports medicine doctor today and he said at minimum is 6-8 weeks of recovery being off the knee. Thankfully, I have a great support system at home. Thank you @coupygirl for taking care of me and @olliedadachshund for being my nurse all day long. I have to work in range of mobility, I have to lose weight, but most importantly, I have to remain positive. At the end of the day, yes, I can’t really walk and I have to wheel myself on a wheelchair named Lola, but I’m still here. My ligaments may be torn, but my sense of humor is intact! I may not have cartilage anymore, but I have lots of friends and family who support me. We may be practicing social distancing, but I’m here for you friends. Stay healthy. Wash your hands. And remember like the Disneyland rides wisely tell us. Permanecer sentados por favor. Manteniendo sus manos, brazos, pies, y piernas adentro del vehículo y cuiden a sus niños.
