When I had to go to the English conversation class last month, I decided to walk instead of a car. At that day, it was too much snowing. The road was like skate rink. I slipped about 10 times.When I arrived at school, I was very exhausted. It took for 1.5 hour on foot from my house to there.
After that, I had a little pain in my knees for a few days. I thought the reason was muscle pain. But it was getting worse and worse. And I noticed that my right knee was swelling up.
I went to the hospital and consulted a orthopedist about it. He told me that a part under right knee became
inflamed. According to him, it would taken for 2 months to recover. I was surprised and dissappointed.
Of course, I tried to protect my knees every time and so I used my shoulder and arm too much.
Now I have much pain in my shoulder and arm. I go to the clinic every day. The staff cure my arm and shoulder. But I haven't stretched them yet. Probably some tendon around the muscle is damaged. It is unexpected happenning to me.
There is good thing to me. In my toilet, there are 2 arm bar. I thought we would use them when we become
old at first. But it is very useful. When I stand up, arm bar support my knees.
I liked snow in the past, but I don't like the snow. Every body! We had better not walk in the snow day. I am a bad example...
This is my parents in law's house.
I'm so sorry you were hurt! It is dangerous here in the winter, too. In Marquette, I sometimes wore "crampons"- a device that attaches to each shoe. It helps keep me from slipping on the icy sidewalk. (it looks like this: http://images.buzzillions.com/images_products/03/68/women-petzl-spiky-crampon_128735_175.jpg )It's very common for students at Northern to fall on the ice!
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon.
Hi,Stephanie!
ReplyDeleteI have ever heard that it is snowing a lot in Marquette. Snow bring a lot of damage for our life,doesn't it?
In Japan, many old people fell from the roof and died when they were removing the snow unfortunately.
Thank you for worrying about me.
I am not sure that 2 months is long or short,but I hope everything is OK soon!
Are you OK?
ReplyDeleteWas the road like ice skate rink, wasn't it?
It must had been scary for you.
I'm anxious about your physical condition.
In this year, removing the snow from the roof was so hard for people, especially elderly.
Many people died and injured due to the snow.
However, spring is coming around the corner.
We need a little patience.
Please take care of yourself.
Tamae!Long time no talk! I'm not all right.
ReplyDeleteI go to "Sekkotsuin"(what should I say in English)every day.I don't know when I will recover.
I miss spring season. I hope to talk to you soon.Take care!
