The first time I sprained my knee🥺

Heyy guysss I decided to enter the story time challenge.

So let me bring ya back to when this first happened remember it like it was yesterday(fun fact it happened like a month or two ago) so a little backstory I work at a daycare and we tend to take the toodlers out to play!

So May 22 2024 I was assigned to the toddler class and that day we decided to take the toddlers out to have a water fight because it was really hot out!!

So fast forward to us being outside I was having a water fight with the teachers and the toodlers and we was having an absolute blast!Me and My friend was splashing water on each other and then ofc I started running because I didn’t want to get wet myself next thing I know I tripped over the black rubber band around the playground and landed hard on my right leg!

When I fell the pain was most definitely real and painful and I couldn’t get up and I stayed on the ground for a good 10-15 minutes! Once I kept my leg still it stopped hurting after about 15 minutes I just stayed on the ground because I felt like I couldn’t move my leg without it hurting so once the pain did stop I attempted to get up and it felt like I fell all over again!

So I had to call over my friend and ask her to help me up the ramp so I limped all the way to a classroom and told my boss I have to go home because I believe I sprained my knee I wasn’t exactly sure but I figured it’s wasn’t just some minor pain that I would be able to walk off!

My Mother than came and picked me up and asked me do I think I need to go to the ER(Emergency Room) I Told her no because I believed maybe it would get better by the next day(boy was I wrong) I then tried to go to sleep even though I was still in a lot of pain and my mom told me to take pain meds but I said it’s fine ! I finally drifted off to sleep after about 10 minutes I woke up a hour or two later in more pain than before that’s when I finally took some pain meds and said I’ll go to the ER!

The first picture is how swollen my leg had got before I went to the Er!

I arrived at the hospital at 9:29 pm I had to use a wheelchair because I didn’t have enough balance to keep limping and im already clumsy as it is so I didn’t want to keep accidentally putting pressure on my right leg because anytime I did put pressure on my right it feels like something cracked and I felt the pain of when I first feel everytime!

So I did get seen pretty quickly or should I say got my xray pretty fast!The results of my xray was……literally nothing they couldn’t see what actually happened to my leg because it was way too swollen but they said they believed I sprained my ligaments!And gave me instructions of what to do if it doesn’t get better!they then gave me a wrap and the black wrap it’s like a cast but a little different but it does a good job holding your leg into place so it can heal!They also gave me crutches so I can stay off my leg until it heals!

By May 25 I was finally able to put pressure on my right leg again but I wasn’t able to put a lot of pressure I still was limping !It took a whole month for my knee to go back to how it was before and now I’m able to walk without limping!
