Hey!!!!! (update)

Hey!!!!!!!!!!!

So Sorry that I haven't been on in awhile, but I broke my femur last friday. Actually to be acturate I should say my Femur broke because I had nothing to do with it. I woke up two weeks ago on Friday, and my knee really hurt. I looked at it and it looked fine but really hurt, but because I couldn't see anything wrong with it, I went to my first class of the day. When I got back from that my knee was soo swollen and black and blue that I couldn't believe that it was the same knee I had looked at just an hour before. So I called my mom and I went in to urgent care. THe urgent care doc said that it was too swollen to tell if it was broken so to just walk on it for two weeks and if it didn't feel better then to go see my orthopedist. I was like ummmm NO... that's not right, so my dad came down the next day and took me to a local acute injury clinic at a prominent orthopedic office. The doc there took x-rays again and said that my femoral condyal had literally crumbled. He put me in a long leg cast and in a wheelchair until the cast comes off and the PT that I will work with after say that I am ok walking. Right now I am in my second cast and I go in a week from today to get x-rays through the cast to see how it is healing.  If I feel like I need a new cast or they do they will then put a new one on at that time but I am not getting it off for a while. So yeah that's all that's pretty much new.
