In the Pam's A Klutz move this morning...
Ra and I were in the kitchen together, which was most fortuitous because it was time for his Atopica, usually his first med of the day. It's a liquid and dispensed with its own special syringe. He HATES the stuff and has been running away from me and fighting me when I finally catch him to give him the dose as of late.
Today was no exception. We were both in the kitchen and he saw me with the syringe and booked it, so I ran after him. Caught him by the stove and had him by one hand, syringe in the other and I tripped over my own feet, hit the floor HARD on my right knee, and (for good measure) slid same knee into the bottom of the stove. OUCH!! :(
It doesn't appear that I've caused any grievous damage to my knee, but the middle of my knee cap bruised instantly and the skin on my knee remains red even about an hour after this happened. No noticeable deformity and it doesn't hurt terribly, although it aches pretty darn good. :/ Hopefully my usual achy body cocktail of two extra strength tylenol, 600mg of ibuprofen, and a Flexeril will squash any pain I might end up feeling. I'll be keeping an appropriate eye on things as the day progresses, and assess again tomorrow before I decide whether I'll test that knee for yoga tomorrow afternoon.
As for Ra? Poor fucker still got all of his Atopica--I didn't spill a drop of the stuff as I fell, and though he fought the good fight I managed to get it all down his gullet. ;)
