Broke Knee, Sickness, and Horseback Riding

I went horseback riding last night and it felt sooo good to be back in the saddle. Unfortunately, it didn't last long. I started back to the car, so excited because I could prove to David that horses weren't that bad and I was okay, I slipped getting into the car and wrenched my knee. I fell and hit my head on the door frame of the car and really bruised my ego. When Sara helped me up, my knee really made itself known. I had such a pain that I could barely walk on it. I got into the car and doubled footed it to Wal-Mart in Ooltewah to still pick up the motorcycle battery that David requested. I was a hurting unit but I thought that I would still go get it so that the injury didn't seem all that bad.

I got home and the injury was all that real. I could barely move my leg after walking through Wal-Mart and driving home. So David and I made an appointment to go to the doctor today. He said that it seemed to act like a lateral tibular fracture. I am to be on crutches and a knee brace for two weeks. Luckily, the doctor doesn't think I did any real damage to it but when I go back for the follow up x-rays, I may have to get a MRI if no injury is found evident on the x-rays. If there is damage to the cartiledge or ligaments then it could result in surgery. Not fun idea at all.

Then to top it all off, I am starting to get sick and so is Fallon. She's got a real congested cough and runny nose. I feel so helpless because I can't help her like she's used to and she really needs her momma now.
