That sounds horrible! And just when you had had a fantastic evening, looking great in the process. I also get what an awful wrench (or spanner) this throws into your fitness project. Gahhhh!!! When I was in Italy earlier this month, I tripped and had an awful, awful sprain to my ankle. I was sure I'd broken it, it was that painful. The next morning it was stiff and swollen (it still is a bit, after two weeks), but the pain had immediately reduced and I could walk fine--it just hurt when I bent my foot into specific positions that walking didn't affect. </p> <p>But a knee.....and your case should really be checked out. I hope that like with me, the worst was at the point it happened. I will send healing thoughts your way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-white-dinner-and-how-sorry-i-am-feeling-for-myself-today#post-1235813 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 18:53:05 +0000 Inge 1235813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, that sounds like a nasty fall -((( Good idea to have it checked out by the doctor tomorrow, Hil. Hang in there!</p> <p>(You looked fab and the party sounds fab too.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-white-dinner-and-how-sorry-i-am-feeling-for-myself-today#post-1235775 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 18:23:40 +0000 Hil 1235775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone - thanks for the kind words! I'm still feeling very tender and sore although I had a better night's sleep. It is a holiday weekend in South Africa so I will probably go to the doc tomorrow.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-white-dinner-and-how-sorry-i-am-feeling-for-myself-today#post-1235753 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 18:00:30 +0000 rachylou 1235753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh! Ouch! Hope it's a little better today? But hey, you looked fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-white-dinner-and-how-sorry-i-am-feeling-for-myself-today#post-1235618 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 14:34:49 +0000 Eliza 1235618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hil- You look just beautiful in your photos. Sorry the night ended the way it did. &nbsp;Here's to getting the info you need to get the mending started off on the right foot. &nbsp;&nbsp;You can't always tell what is going on and timely diagnosis&nbsp;may be your best ally in recovery. &nbsp;Sending good thoughts your way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-white-dinner-and-how-sorry-i-am-feeling-for-myself-today#post-1235556 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 13:30:43 +0000 BethL 1235556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Hil - So sorry your lovely evening ended the way it did. You looked wonderful in your white outfit, and I love your wrap! </p> <p>I'm dealing with at least a torn meniscus right now. I hyperextended my knee this winter and then injured it again. I thought that I could treat it myself, which worked to some extent, but my knee was weak when I reinjured it, and I didn't go to the doctor right away even the second time. I wish I had. I'm doing physical therapy, and I probably don't need surgery, but my knee is going to take a long, long time for me to get full range of motion back. At this point, I can't fully straighten my leg. Please go get yourself checked out. If you can start treatment sooner rather than earlier, you'll be in much better shape than I am. Best of luck, and I hope you feel better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-white-dinner-and-how-sorry-i-am-feeling-for-myself-today#post-1235327 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 03:10:45 +0000 Sveta 1235327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hil, I am so sorry about your injury!

I hope it will turn out not to be as bad as you fear. In the meantime, you looked sensational. What a fun event. Please do go to a doctor and see what they advise.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-white-dinner-and-how-sorry-i-am-feeling-for-myself-today#post-1235204 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 23:24:31 +0000 Kristin L 1235204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great Hil.

What a way to end what looks like a great day.</p> <p>I agree that you should try to get to a doctor sooner rather than later. At least then you'll have the information you need as to how to treat it. And maybe it will heal faster if you can get some kind of care protocol implemented right away.</p> <p>I know what you mean about the momentum of fitness stuff! Maybe you could do some upper-body workouts (e.g., lifting weights) to keep up your momentum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-white-dinner-and-how-sorry-i-am-feeling-for-myself-today#post-1235068 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 19:53:50 +0000 Beth Ann 1235068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry to hear it, Hil!&nbsp; You looked fabulous.&nbsp; </p> <p>Please take care of yourself and don't hesitate to get the medical attention you need.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-white-dinner-and-how-sorry-i-am-feeling-for-myself-today#post-1234985 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 18:13:13 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1234985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry the night ended like that and that you wolk feeling worse than anticipated. &nbsp;Hope you go see the doctor and get quick relief and answer to what damage if any! &nbsp;Love the white outfit. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-white-dinner-and-how-sorry-i-am-feeling-for-myself-today#post-1234984 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 18:12:00 +0000 crutcher 1234984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit is cute, cute, cute...Please don't beat yourself up over what is known as an "accident"&nbsp; happens to all of us at some time...You probably should have the ER take a peak...I understand getting a fitness program derailed because of a stupid accident but getting on it now, will probably get you back to your workouts sooner...<br />Take care... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-white-dinner-and-how-sorry-i-am-feeling-for-myself-today#post-1234979 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 18:05:57 +0000 deb 1234979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is too bad about your fall.

I just went through arthroscopic surgery on my right knee because of a torn meniscus, although I thought at first it was a tendon issue, too. Not fun, but far better than dealing with the constant pain. Mine actually felt better for quite a while before the pain returned with a vengeance. I hope you get better news from the dr!</p> <p>But your outfit looks perfect, and it looks like it was a beautiful dinner. I love the arty photo of the heart above the crowd, too. Good luck with that knee (I hate that reflective road paint - it can even be dangerous to cars trying to leave a stop sign/light). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-white-dinner-and-how-sorry-i-am-feeling-for-myself-today#post-1234930 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 17:13:51 +0000 Hil 1234930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last night was the dinner thing that I posted about earlier in the week. </p> <p>I had a lucky shopping day and managed to find skinny white jeans and a lovely top in a slightly off white, milk colour. I wore them with my grey and cream oxfords and my touch of green was an acid green wrap. I also wore a green/grey corduroy coat later in the evening as the weather got cooler. </p> <p>Sorry the pics below don't show the outfit well but you may get the idea. I will try recreate the outfit for you when I'm feeling up to it.... Which brings me to why I am feeling sorry for myself...</p> <p>My oxford shoes have annoyingly slippery soles and I've learned that they're not ideal to wear when walking on wet surfaces etc - but I thought they would be fine yesterday as we were on grass. When we were heading back to the car last night, we were walking back on the road and I slipped on a speed hump painted with yellow road paint. My right leg flew out in front of me at an angle I'm sure it was never meant to bend and I hurt the inside of my knee. Perhaps it was the fact that I had had a few glasses of wine, but I didn't feel too bad last night - I assumed I would have a bit of bruising today. Well I woke up in the early hours of the morning in agony. I think that I've done some ligament or tendon damage. I have strapped my knee up and taken some anti-inflammatories and I'm kind of hoping for a miracle but I suspect I might need to see a doctor. </p> <p>I'm really so annoyed by this injury just as I was really getting into my new fitness habits and I so don't want to lose the momentum!!! </p>
