The sidewalks, that is, not Victor (click movies). Most of our sidewalk areas and many of the roads on campus are brick. Its very pretty, which I enjoy during the warm months of the year. When it is about 10ยบ and randomly snows 1-2" on a whim every day or so, BRICKS ARE DEADLY! And as you can imagine, my wonderfully graceful manner allows me to walk across the icy brick paths of death oh-so-easily. -tear-
This has created quite the problem. I've had a sore knee for quite a while but I ignored it since ignoring pains and things of the sort is much easier than getting them checked. Who has time for the doctor's office?! Not me. Well due to the gimp-ness of my knee, I've been walking a little funny and walking/stepping a little funny on ice leads to lots of slipping, falling, general flailing like an idiot. I'm sure you'd never have guessed. So I finally got fed up... and found myself in too much painkiller-proof pain...and went to Health Services to get it looked at this morning. Not once, but twice. First the nurse looked and said she didn't know what to tell me so I should come back when the Nurse Practitioner was there. She looked and said its probably some sort of tendonitis and I should be careful not to fall again. Also, come back Friday so she can poke at me some more. Hurrah, I love getting my leg jerked in 100 different directions!
Hopefully it doesn't start to swell, hurt worse, and/or I don't fall down anymore... damn bricks... because then she's going to give me crutches. Just take a minute and think about that. Ever-so-graceful Kailey, hobbling along campus... and ICY, hilly campus... on crutches. Yep.
