Have you ever tried chasing a toddler around the house with a twisted knee...no contest at all they have you begging for mercy in no time...
I had just finished blowing up the modelling balloons and I was placing them carefully in the back room of the stage when I missed my footing and wham the pain hit me like lightening. I couldn't put my weight on my leg at all, if I did put pressure on my leg my knee felt as if it was going to explode.
I was so embarassed the puppet show was supposed to begin within the next half hour and there was I in agony. The organisers brought me a bag of ice and a walking stick. I gingerly put my leg on the floor and started to try and put some weight on it when I heard a sort of pop and crunch. All of a sudden I could walk again. The show will go on I thought and it did and it was great!
My knee is still giving me gip and looking after Casey today was an extreme challenge she seemed to understand that Mamgu was not up to chastising her and played on that fact to great advantage.
The Doctor seems to think I popped a ligiment, probably because of my age...he sure knows how to make a girl feel good...
