Sundown Friday night?

**Greg** · Feb 16, 2008, 6:07 AM

Oof.

Take it easy Carrie. You won't be missing much this coming week it seems so just rest up.

Thanks, Greg. Looks like the left outer side of my knee is a bit pissed off at me right now. No bruising at all from the fall, which is strange. I think it will be alright though. I picked up a knee brace from Target and Brian insisted upon working my shift tonight at Sundown. I apparently also knocked my right ankle, top of the foot, left elbow, and left palm... but those are just a little sore.

In any case, I'm resting as much as an 8.5 month old and 2.5 year old will allow me to.

What type of brace?

Remember,
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

Gotta throw a second coat of paint on the foyer/hallway. That took me about 7 hours yesterday, but coat #2 should go quicker. If I get done and cleaned up before 2 pm, we'll head over.

Cool... Actually, we're in wait-and-see mode right now. Alex has a little bit of a cough. We're pretty sure its nothing, but don't want to jeopardize next weekend.

For some reason, it's not on the internet. :? It's a Nexcare Adjustable moderate support knee brace. Neoprene, cut out for the knee cap, 3 straps for adjustability to stabilize and compress. Seems to be helping. I've been trying to keep my leg up as much as possible (today more so than yesterday since Brian is home) and I ice it before bed. I'm definitely calling the orthopedist tomorrow.

From what I was reading, it could be an MCL injury. But likely not serious. Then again, it's not like this is my area of expertise.

Thanks for the tips! I'm hoping it really isn't, but you're right that I should get it checked out. Just to be safe. As much as it sucks.

Wish we could get Mags out on the hill today but even if Brian does take her, I don't think I'm up to walking around the base with the boy on my back today.

Just got back from skiing the morning shift and conditions were really good. There were some icy spots on Gunbarrel, but if you skied along the edge on skiers right it was really good.

The crowds were starting to show up so I bailed.

Holla!

Didn't make it out. Still wrapping things up around here...

Same here, kid just wanted to hang around the house for a change, which is good, as I was able to play catch-up.
