This afternoon, Mr. Bus Driver started the bus moving before I'd managed to sit down - I was juggling three bags and an umbrella, hence the delay.
The sudden accelleration hit me at an awkward angle, my knee gave a small pop, and There Was Pain.
The remainder of the ride home was interesting, but not in a good way. The bus stopped in front of the News-Gazette building; just as I was wondering why, the driver shut off the engine and announced that the bus was having mechanical problems & a new bus would be along presently to carry on with the route.
Climbing off one bus and onto another was rather more walking than I felt like doing just then. But I managed. (An umbrella makes a passable cane, provided one doesn't lean on it too hard.)
I made it home, and after an evening of ice, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and general laziness the knee feels considerably better.
Even so, I imagine I'll be visiting the doctor tomorrow.
See! I told you anonymous comments were enabled!
Dislocated my right knee once. It felt like someone shot me in the kneecap with a HUGE rubber band at first, then it got really warm and, upon trying to stand on it, bent the opposite direction. Not a lot of fun! Two weeks on crutches and some fun meds from dear ol' doc & it was almost good as new...
