So, the MRI came back negative for a fracture. Yay!!!

The official diagnosis is:

- bruised femur bone and knee bone (which is apparently separate from the knee cap)
- strained interior ligament of the knee (this ligament supports the knee, so it's the more serious part of the injury)
- fluid on the knee cap

So, the doctor said to stay on the crutches for another 1-2 weeks, and wear the brace full-time for another month, and then wear it when I fence for the next year, just to be on the safe side.

And, he said no fencing until I'm off the brace fulltime. *scowl* He actually said that. So I can't fence for another month...

But I'll be able to fence at Quest!!!

More later.

Yay! I'm so glad it's not more serious! And be sure to listen to the doctor--I have a knee injury from when I was a teenager that still gives me trouble. Knee injuries can be so touchy.

Oh, I am. Even though it felt better, I'm still braced and crutched, and babying it. I really want it to be 100% when this is over.

Take care of yourself! I'm glad it's not a fracture, that would have been more high maintenance :D

I'm staying home and playing WoW writing all weekend. Well, except on Sunday, but we're just going to hear a friend play at a cafe.

Woot! Fencing at Quest--and we can always put you in a chair to make sure you don't reinjure it!

Happy for you!


Yay! So happy to hear it wasn't broken! Lucky you won't have to look like road warrior. lol
I know the feeling about being anxious to get back into the fencing, except for me it was riding my horse.

Take care!
