Dislocated Knee (No Images)

[Joseph Hedhli Buell]

On the eighth of this month, I dislocated my right knee. I was hitting a tennis ball against a long wall with a ping-pong paddle when I tried to run along the wall, sideways, when I stepped a bit to hard on my right leg. With an audible scrape and pop, I had dislocated my right kneecap. Paramedics came quickly at 10:03, and it was put back in place, but still it feels kind of weird. I can bend my knee, though it feels slightly tight. The picture for that day is the Moon with inverted colors, which is a pretty accurate representation of my round, swollen knee, and the picture from 3/8/18 and 3/8/20 pretty much sum up how it felt. I am in a leg brace and on crutches. I should be fully functional by the twenty-third.
