HURT KNEE - BLACK ICE

WHAT A DAY!!!
I'M ON CRUTCHES :( I FELL THIS MORNING TAKING ELLA DOWN TO THE PRESCHOOL BUS. (ACTUALLY CARRYING HER, BUT SHE DIDNT GET HURT - LANDED ON ME.) THANK GOD FOR THAT!
I CHECKED THE STEPS EARLIER AND THEY JUST WERE WET LOOKING, BUT HALF WAY DOWN THE BIG STEPS (ABOUT 12 STEPS TO WALNUT ST) THEY HAD BLACK ICE ON THEM. I SLIPPED AND FELL TWISTING MY LEFT LEG AND KNEE OUT, AROUND AND UNDERNEATH ME. THE SAME SIDE I WAS HOLDING ELLA ON TOO.
I HEARD IT POP.... OH HOW IT HURT!! I SAT FOR A SEC AND THEN GOT UP AND FINISHED WALKING ELLA TO THE BUS. WHILE BEING EMBARRASSED BY HAVING PEOPLE SEE ME FALL TOO. WHEN I STARTED HOBBLING BACK UP THE STEPS, THE BOYS CAME OUT OF THE HOUSE AND WERE HEADING DOWN THEM. I HOLLERED STOP, BUT TANNER FELL THEN...LUCKILY ON HIS RUMP - HE WASNT HURT. AGAIN THANK YOU GOD!
I CAME IN AND PUT SALT ALL DOWN THEM AND THEN THE BOYS WALKED TO SCHOOL!
MEANWHILE I WAS IN SOME MAJOR PAIN! I CALLED SCOTT AND TOLD HIM ABOUT IT AND HE SAID HE COULD COME HOME FROM WORK AROUND 11:30 AND I COULD GO GET IT LOOKED AT.
WE'LL I WENT TO URGENT CARE AND DR. LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS REALLY SWELLED AND I COULDNT BEND IT OR STRAIGHTEN IT OUT ALL THE WAY. HE SAID HE THINKS THERE IS SOMETHING TORN OR BROKEN AND MY KNEE LOOKS LOPSIDED, SO HE SENT ME FOR A X-RAY. NOW IM ON CRUTCHES - NOT SUPPOSE TO PUT ANY WEIGHT ON IT AT ALL, HAVE TO PUT ICE ON IT FOR SWELLING, GOT PAIN PILLS AND WAITING ON THE X-RAY TO COME BACK IN 2-3 DAYS. =( OUCHY!
PLEASE PRAY ITS JUST SPRAINED AND I WONT HAVE TO GO FOR A MRI AND SEE THE ORTHO DR. LIKE THEY WERE SAYING I MIGHT .... DEPENDING ON THE XRAY RESULTS.
