No Broken Bones

So, I am very happy, I did not break my knee cap!! I did ice my knee last night and wrap it like Lisa told me to do, which really did help, it feels so much better today, but I still went to the doctor anyway. Based on its appearance and the swelling they really were concerned I broke my knee cap. So they sent me next door for xrays (very handy to have that next door), and it turns out nothing was broken.
I guess I aggravated or something a sack of fluid behind my knee cap (which is causing all the swelling) and I have a pretty deep contusion on my knee, but nothing that wont fix itself over time. I was told to take motrin 3 times a day, ice it daily, wrap it nightly, and just take it easy for about 10 days for it to heal. But I am sooo happy nothing broke, I really didnt want to deal with that :)
