okay so I fell on Tuesday, went to the dr Thursday because they didn't have office hours Wednesday and there wasn't alot of pain, and then the ortho Thursday afternoon where they x-rayed my knee. I had an MRI Friday and TODAY at 3:15 the ortho's office calls and tells me I fractured my tibia. Like they couldn't tell me that THURSDAY!!! Thue nurse basically said stay off it (like crutches) and come to my appt. tomorrow at 10:15 as planned.
Can I just say this STINKS!!!!!

I'm guessing the fracture is pretty small and it's definitely close to me knee (from the way it feels) so it may be that they couldn't see it. It's really not painful just lots of pressure so it can't be that bad. I'm still upset that it took them 5 or 6 days to figure this out.
on the bright side, I've been learning to knit so now I'll have some time to practice and do a scarf or two. I'm sure glad the web is around. It's going to make things a whole lot easier. I can do communications, banking, grocery shopping, etc. on the web and not have to worry about getting out of bed. We have a wireless network so I can work on the laptop sitting in bed. Toughest things are going to be getting the kids to activities and other obligations. Dh is very helpful and his schedule is pretty flexible and he can work from home most days if necessary.
Gotta love doctors and their efficiency!!
THankfully it was a fracture and not a break, that is probably why the pain isn't unbearable!
Ugh hugs girl, stay off that knee and let us know how your next apt goes!
