My freaking doctor has not given me the results of my xray yet!
If I have a broken knee cap, then I can't skate. Apparently it takes 6-8 weeks to heel, no cast, you just walk around like normal, and that's how people break it without knowing it, cause it doesn't hurt. And if I were to fall on it while it's broken, I could cause a permanent injury and end my derby career. So have to wait. It is making me insane! It's amazing, when you can't skate you realize how deep derby gets under your skin.
I'm missing so much! We have three games this fall, and there is promo work to do -- I can flyer on my own, but other stuff too -- and organizing, and hip checking...and I can't be a part of it!
This has been a really painful awful lesson to learn, and I will never put on a pair of skates without knee pads again in my life.
Clarification -- I can be a part of a lot of it. But I haven't been to practice 'cause my ride is off with a concussion and getting a lift has been -- well, ridonculous. So I'm not just whining for no reason. I feel totally isolated.
