PortCon 2009: So Hardcore I Needed Crutches
« on: June 21, 2009, 05:02:49 PM »
Hello all! Thought I would put this in memories because... It's pretty dang memorable for me.

If anyone saw me hobbeling around Saturday night or Sunday morning, yeah. I decided to go stand at the rave, pick up badges that had fallen off people and put them on the table. I was standing with a few people and a song came on and I started moving my arms a little with glowsticks and stuff- and then felt the most painful pain I have ever felt in my life. xD Someone was dancing and kicking and actually kicked my kneecap and I HEARD it pop. So I went out of the tent and Token and Kei were there and basically cried forever and mister Panda brought me inside. ._. Ice and elevation! But it was alright becuase I got good seats for the hentai panel. XD

Next Morning (Sunday), well... Still hurt really bad. Saw Julie. Julie say I go home. I was still being all hobbely and stuff. And so my mom brought me to the ER place and it turns out that my knee cap got dislocated and I have to go back to the doctor because it's so swollen they can't see really anything else. In the end, portcon was so hardcore that I needed to get a knee immobalizer (gotta wear it for like... a week), and oh yay! Crutches! :D And powerful pain medication.

So this is my portcon memory. And this is so people A) Know what happened and B) know what happened after I went to the doctor if they already knew. xD Honestly though, it made my day because someone gave me a plushie. It was fantabulous. Thanks guys! :D Had a great time this year even with this incident! <3

|D So, you were like me from a couple years back when I had to go to the ER during the middle of the con, because I scratched my eye while taking a contact lens out. Because I didn't know how to do it properly.

Oh my god! I feel so bad for you! I didn't even know you were injured. I hope next year there is a rave rule that states anyone dancing crazily must be spacially aware (IE: IN A CIRCLE. K.)

Also: I really hope you get better and don't feel terrible!
Gettin' too old for this.

Heh- your welcome. ^^; Figured I would just post it when I got back from the doctors instead of getting txts and multiple people asking what was going on and what exactly happened.

I'm sad I missed staff pie- but hey- if I is on staff next year, there is always next year. Thank you everyone for caring. :D  :Hug:

Update. :D
Went to the doctors today. ._.
It's bruised really bad. And should only keep hurting after long walks and working for.... WHAT?! 4-6 WEEKS?!
Go pain killers.
