Thus ends the weekend of the 48-Hour Party

[drcuriosity]

All in all, not a bad party from what I was there for. Sorry I had to leave on injury grounds, but health's first priority.

I've been resting up for the last 18 hours or so, and while my knee's still a bit swollen and ugly, it looks like it's healing up fine and I should be good to go for work tomorrow, if maybe a little stiff. Probably wouldn't have been so bad if my knees weren't pre-damaged from my school days, but there's not a lot you can do about that.

Work seems to be going pretty well of late, both in town and at university. It was good to have a bit of time out and catch up with people this weekend, though :-) I've been missing people of late.

Go and see a physio. The Gloucester st clinic isn't far from where you work, and they can do a lot to speed your recovery if they treat it soon enough. And it's free under ACC.

What did you do to yourself?

Yah, I am curious too. It sounds bad.

I definitely recommend physio. It can save a huge huge amount of ache and such in the future.

:( Hope your knee gets better. Sounds like it was a good party! I gotta say I haven't had much opportunity to drink too much and do things I'll regret in the morning for a looong time, clearly this is a sign for me to organise such an event but sadly it will have to wait till I get back from the break.

*nod* Familiar with Gloucester Clinic - they did work on one of my knees back around 1991 for a few months, after one of the nastier concrete impacts at school.
Seems to be healing well, and the swelling's almost gone, but I'll see how it's feeling tomorrow and make an appointment if need be. No need to be broken for longer than necessary, after all.

Someone pushed past me in the hallway but there was nowhere to go - just into a wall and then desperately trying to avoid landing on and breaking other people's stuff that was against said wall. Normally wouldn't have been a big thing but I'd just come off the dance floor and my muscle responses were a bit slow - ended up taking quite a bit of my weight sideways onto my knee as I fell, since there wasn't time/room to fall properly.

Nothing malicious, mind - I think said person was just too busy concentrating on the person who they were trying to shout to through my head (which is why I was trying to get past them in the first place). These things happen.

Thanks :-) *hug*
Nice to see you out and about.

[drcuriosity]

Yep, thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately Trond didn't manage to pick me up anything at GenCon, so I may look into PDFage shortly. Cheers :-)

Injuries aside, it certainly seemed to be going damned well.

Good luck with your event planning in the near future, and may your regrets-in-the-morning be hell-it-was-worth-it ones ;-)

*teleports you off for recovery time....and stuff...* ;)

[drcuriosity]

Yay! :-)

Damn, it's a shame that somewhat spoilt for you what was otherwise a damned good party.

Hope your knee feels better in the morning.
