Continued exploration

[lukadron]

I think I could get the hang of LJ again, it seems like a comfortable secure space for personal thoughts/feelings/experiences etc. Tumblr is not the right platform when I regard it more for sharing pretty pictures, arts and perhaps meta-discussion than for a daily recount of events. So we'll see how that goes

Wow! Please be careful on the stairs! I fell down some stairs at work (also at a uni) about 30 years ago and it permanently messed up my knees. I can't kneel any more because of it! If your ankle is really bothering you, you should go see a doctor. Don't you get free health care from the uni?

First of all, hiiii: wow. I didn't think anyone would even read this lolol ♥ How have you been??

Yeah, these type of accidents can really have long lasting effects, I noticed. I cannot sit on my knees either, becaue both my ankles do not support this type of bending (the other was really badly injured 12 years ago). I've been to the physiotherapy because of that, but it seems it won't ever be the same as it was when they were both unblemished.

I went to the doctor, they told me to take it easy on the foot and rest it for a few days. And yeah, I get free health care (funded by the taxes, tho. This has nothing to do with the University). They wrapped some gauze around it for support, that's it. Had I not worn my boots the other day, I think the damage would have been much greater than it was.

How's your knee holding up then?

Well, I further damaged my right knee two years ago when I got a "Meniscal Tear" as I was simply turning my leg to get out of my car. I didn't have any weight on my leg at all, I was just turning my leg to pull it out of the footwell of the car. It felt like my knee just exploded (the cartilage in that knee permanently tore). I spent the afternoon crying at work because I was in so much pain. My boss thought I was nuts....that is, until he did the SAME THING to his own knee just two months ago. He was reaching for his briefcase and twisted his knee just so...and BOOM! Meniscal Tear! He had pain killers, steroids and access to a sports injury doctor and found out there's nothing you can do about a Meniscal Tear except get the knee replaced. So, I've been hobbling around, using canes and a walker the past two years. Sigh. I'll just have to muddle through as best I can.

Look for me on Skype. I'm usually logged on. :)

Hallo Lucca,
Es ist gut, über deinem Tag zu hören. Ich bedaure auch manchmal dass ich nicht auf LJ seit 2-3 Jahren bin, und die entsprechende Abnahme in Posts, nicht nur fandom, und self reflexion. Bist du noch in Dänemark, arbeitest du dann noch an deinem degree?

Ich war im letzten Jahr in Halle (an der Saale), ein halbes Jahr, anscheinend um Jura zu studienen, und mit dem Freund zu sein.
