To avoid straining my knee more (which ached some after yesterday's ride) I decided I'd instead go swimming and lifting today. Before we went to the gym Kevin and I decided to enjoy this lovely day and fly a kite.
I'm new to kite flying, so I'm still learning all the ins and outs. One of the things I'm still learning is to how to keep the string from burning my fingers when the wind grabs the kite. It's a windy day.
The kite was really going and my finger got caught, singed. I let go of the strings and started chasing the kite so it wouldn't fly away. After maybe five steps something happened inside my right knee and I fell down, in a fair bit of pain. Ouch.
I can just see the medical report. "Patient injured knee kite flying." I feel like a dope. With a limp.
If it still hurts this much tomorrow I'm going to the doctor. For now it's rest, ice, compression and elevation.
But boy, before that happened the kite and I were soaring.

I see your point. But, "patient injured knee kite flying" is much better than patient injured knee "kitten kicking" or "infant tripping". (Though if you were into that, you probably wouldn't be bothered to see that on your medical report...)
ReplyDeleteI hope you heal up soon!
