Stupid knee

On Saturday I was driving home from Winn Dixie and my knee decided to stop working.

One trip to the ER later and I found out that I have no bone damage, but probably ligament or muscle damage.  For some reason, the ER couldn't order an MRI, so I am on couch rest.  I have to stay off of it, ice it and ibuprofen the hell out of it for 3-5 days and hope it heals. If not, I have to go to my doctor and he will order an MRI.

On Monday, it started to feel better, so I tried to use it a bit.

I even went to the pool! What a horrible, horrible mistake. Monday night, I was awake until almost 6am, unable to sleep because of the pain. Now, I am back to sitting on the couch and letting people take care of me. 

Let me tell you, though. I have the internet, a Kindle with over 75 unread books on it, Hulu Plus and Netflix at my disposal and I am bored senseless. 

Worst of all? Today is Ethan's birthday and I didn't even get to see him. His friend invited him to spend the night last night, hang out today and go to a movie, and then spend the night tonight and have a bon fire. I said yes because I wanted him to have a nice birthday and all of the things we had planned had to be scrapped.
