Sophia, I'm sorry I have almost zero experience with knee injuries. I would ice and rest it tonight, and I would call a doctor if it still hurts in the morning. It's the popping that concerns me as something could have torn.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Ice and rest the knee. Yes, ice sucks but put that knee up and ice it anyway.
Congratulations, Jilli! You are totally competent!
How does one make oatmeal (no prize for that segue) in the microwave without everything going splodey?
Watch it and pause it every time it starts to resemble an angry volcano. Usually once or twice when I am making the fast-ish oats. Honestly, once that starts puffing up, it's done enough to eat for me. Get distracted though and you're cleaning the microwave. Oh, unless you have and can operate a fancy microwave that can have pauses programmed into it. That would be kinda cool.

Timelies all!
Happy Birthday ChiKat!
Went to the Who concert last night.(Never saw them live before) The concert was good, but I don't think I want to do floor seats again. (Seats in the back of the floor + short person = can't see much of the stage, if anything.)

I missed the birthday! Happy Birthday ChiKat!
I am home with my leg up and frozzen broccoli on my knee. There is a swollen spot on the left side of my kneecap, but nothing hurts when I press on it.
What it really weird is that I am knock kneed and pigeon toed, and this seems to have reversed that???

Use a tall bowl and cover it with a paper towel.
If you have any sports wrap, Sophia, wrap your knee before you go to bed. Also, take the blessed ibuprofen if you can.
I hope it's minor. I've had bad knees since my teens and I don't wish them on anyone, except maybe Karl Rove and Grover Norquist.

Not to be all medical advice all the time, but do you think I could wrap in in stretch fabric strips. I have no sports wrap, but plenty of fabric

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Sophia, that should work. Just make sure you're not cutting off circulation to your lower leg.

Probably, if you can cut a fairly long 2-3"-wide strip that stretches the long way.

Thamks guys! I am wrapped, elevated, and ibuprofened. I am crossing my fingers that it will be OK because a) this literally happened by just sitting down b) this is the opposite leg of my bad hip c)I have a designer comming for fittings this weekend and they will be seriously difficult if I can't squat and get up fast.
