irritating knee injury

Okay, so I fell a couple of weeks ago in the laundry area. A pipe decided to have a leak (not a major one...just came loose a bit) and I slipped on water. I did the splits *taking a bow* Yes, it was interesting. My left leg went in front of me, and my right leg went behind me. Nick was in the kitchen with my nephew and I couldn't get his attention since they were talking. I stayed in the splits for a bit until I could get my bearings and then I managed to hobble into the living room and plop on the couch. Well, my poor right knee was all bruised and scraped-up. I just knew it wouldn't be a big deal and that I would be sore for a couple of days and that's it. WELL...last night, I started having a great deal of pain. I looked at my knee and noticed I still had some bruising; Nick pointed-out the swelling on the side of my leg...LOVELY!! I think I might actually have to call the doctor on this one. Most who know me know that I'm not one who likes to go to the doctor for things; however, I've put up with a ton of physical pain in my life and done nothing about it up to this point. I only have one body until heaven, so I better start taking better care of it. I have a high endurance to pain, so if I'm saying it hurts, it must really be bad. I'm hoping and praying it's nothing more than a strain or something. The strange thing is, it only hurts when it's bent. I can't quite figure that out. Sitting down is actually more uncomfortable than standing...odd. Oh well, guess I'll call the doctor on Tuesday *sigh*
