Hey everyone! I'd thought I'd give you all an update! It's an embarrassing one, haha.

On the 17th, after working on a patron commission I decided to do some cardio workouts. I pushed myself a little too hard during a particular set and dislocated my left kneecap.

Immediately hit the floor and almost past out; tunnel vision, stars in my eyes, nausea, tinnitus, the works! Like The Revenant, I dragged my useless body over to my freezer and started applying ice and painkillers. Making a makeshift splint out of a trashbag in an attempt to stabilise my leg. I couldn't put any of my weight on it (and I'm a big guy so that was an issue)

Nonetheless, I tried to continue at home, being as careful as I could. Managed to get some sleep and such. But when I woke up on the 18th, the pain had gotten worse so I decided to call a non emergency helpline, and they eventually sent an ambulance round to my flat.

They got me into hospital, realligned my "wildly unstable" knee (their exact words) gave me gas and painkillers, a splint, two crutches and an appointment in 2 weeks time with an acute knee clinic! So..

I suppose the moral of the story is that exercise will kill you ;)

All kidding aside, it looks like I'm working from home for a bit and I should be able to work on commissions and such during my lunchbreaks without fear of pesky wandering coworker eyes!
