My Poor Knee :-(

Damn it! It's spring break, I was planning to work as many hours as I can this week, and whaddyaknow...I hurt my knee last night at work. Now I can't even walk on it :-(
It seemed almost like a freak accident too...I was at work...and, for those of you who don't know, I've been working at Pizza Hut for the last three weeks. I live three blocks from the Texas A&M University campus, so I ride my bike to my classes everyday (it's a HUGE campus, but the bike riding every day is also good exercise). And Pizza Hut is only a block and a half from my house, so I can walk to work. That's why I took the job, it's only $8/hour, but not having to put gas in my truck is very nice.
Well, anyway...I was on my knees getting a stack of pizzas from a cabinet at floor level and, as I was standing up with the stack of pizzas in hand, I felt an instant, horrible pain in my knee (kind of like an icepick got jammed right to the center of the joint). When I got up I discovered that I couldn't straighten out my leg without horrible pain, and putting any weight on my heel was impossible (felt like the icepick in my knee when I tried).
I went to the ER, and the doctor (after looking at x-rays) told me that the bones were ok, and I probably chipped, or injured, the cartlidge in some way....I'd like to claim workman's comp. for the injury, but I really need the job and my bosses would be pissed and make my life at work there hell if I did that. So, I don't think that I'll go to the Occupational Health Clinic that the ER doctor sent me too (I can't afford that, much less the ER bills from last night, which are already going to just be more unpaid medical bills on my credit record). I'm just gonna take off of work for this week, take the pain pills that the ER Doc prescribed me to rest, and hope that it heals up enough to work with a brace on it next week.

Ha ha ha, it's funny...with all the other shit that has happened to my life recently, this is all that I needed....Oh well, life will go on, and I'll eventually get over this too.

What do you guys think? Do any of my blog readers out there think that I'm doing the wrong thing???
