Hey all. I am having a really bad day today. I got up this morning and things were alright. I went to the OR for observation today as part of our surgical rotation in clinical, and that was awesome. I was leaving the hospital and my knee buckled right out on me. No swelling to speak of, but loads of pain. Every time i take a step(weight bear) and bend my knee the kneecap subluxes. I don't know what more i can take. I have an appt with my GP next week, and OS a long ways in the future. I am in tears because i don't know what more i can take...physically, emotionally, mentally. I am going to call my PT and get an appt with him tomorrow or friday. I have clinical tomorrow, but don't know what to do. As of right now i am having trouble keeping myself walking, let alone caring for somebody else. I am debating calling in to say that i can't make it, or go and see if i can do vitals on everybody instead of actually having patients rely on me specifically for anything. Thanks for any comments, it will be appreciated,
Leah
