I was all psyched to exercise today, plus do yoga. I was out on errands yesterday, and tripped outside the post office. I landed smack on the concrete, right on my right knee. My kneecap looks okay, but the area under is a massive bruise and all swollen. I can put my weight on it, but can't straighten it all the way without pain. I guess I'm heading to the doctor tomorrow (closed today). Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the grocery store before this happened, so I didn't have all the healthy foods I wanted to start off with.
I pretty much kept to healthy foods today though. I don't know if I'll be able to exercise any time soon, which I'm really upset about.
Height: 5 ft 8.5" athlete who can give a punch & certainly take one too! :)
Sorry to hear about your fall. Don't beat yourself up, things happen in life.
Better to wait till it heals instead of screwing it up even more...
Hope you have no broken bones tomorrow.
Take care and be sure to ice it often.. Remember you have the whole year to get back to an exercise routine once you heal.
OUCHIE!!!!! Let us know what the doc says tomorrow...I agree it's best to let it heal before you go doing anything on it. But, maybe you''ll be okay to sit and do chair exercises...you could do weights on your arms, then like twists and stuff to work your mid section maybe. Something is better than nothing!
Oh, ouch!! Be sure and ice it, and let us know what the doctor says..
Don't let this stop you from exercising, though, Sherry. If you have weights or bands, use them while you're sitting. Do some ab work or other things that don't bother your knee.
not the way I wanted to start this year!
