Concrete 1, Knee 0

It's Monday!
I should have been extra careful as things were going fairly good.
Then it happened.

I was leaving the ship for a break when I missed a step, caught the heel of the other foot on the step as I was stumbling and went face down onto the concrete.
It would have been comical if I had not driven my left knee straight down into the pavement!

After getting checked out by the ships force medics and the base fire dept. I went to my doctor.

3 hours, x-rays, and exam later,
Nothing broken thankfully but a badly bruised kneecap.

Now my knee is sore and stiff, walking is difficult (even with a cane), and I have to go back to work tomorrow.

I just hope I can walk tomorrow.

For now, ice and ibuprofen are my best friends.

😞
