…but yet I can’t help but do some research. After doing a search on Google for “patellar dislocation” I can’t help but feel a bit worried about my future.
First of all, I seriously do NOT want to live with and reoccurrences, but apparently they happen often. I did read though that the first time is always the most painful. Insert lewd comment here. I also read that if it happens enough I’ll eventually learn to put it back myself.
Well gee, that doesn’t make me feel better.
I’ll definitely need to do some physio-therapy in the months to come. I’m not particularly happy about that, but I suppose it can’t be helped.
Earlier today I removed the splint to look at my leg. Man, it’s raw! It’s bruised, swollen, and rather red. I suppose it’s a good sign. I’m taking it to mean that a good supply of blood is heading to the site. It should mean that healing is going on. I tried bending the leg, and ooooh, was it stiff. It almost felt like it was going to spasm at times. I’m fucking scared!
I read that that the point of the splint is to aid in the healing of torn ligaments. It’s a good thing I know now, I mean, I was thinking that the splint was kind of pointless. I was bending, walking…etc. Shit. Well, I want things to work properly, so I’ll keep this thing on now without complaining.
I’m seriously scared. Not life or death scared, but the “what’s my future going to be like, now” type of scared.
