Kva ho Ragnhild Rostrup driv på med

My bloody knee ....yes, there´s not much else worth reporting from my life these days. I´m getting better all the time. I can bend my knee 120 degrees and moreso, my physiotherapist tells me I might not have torn the cruciate ligament after all (??) If this is true, I am indeed very lucky. But I still need to practice and strengthen my knee after the inner ligament tore. I handed my cruches back to the doctor. great!!"

I am able to hide the brace underneath my long skirts when I am out on the town, my travel plans are not affected by the injury, I am going to Central America in the start of December, yooooohooooo!!! And staying there until March or April I think. Relaxing in the sun and letting my knee heal. I need to buy a backpack on wheels I think, because my knee cannot take the weight of a 20 kg backpack yet. Old lady, Ragnhild.

The slaugher season is finished, we killed around 25000 sheep. I left lovely Vopnafjörður yesterday, but I will be back for the next kill I think. I am in Reykjavík at the moment having just landed a job behind the meat counter in a supermarked chain. Just for a month you know, to get some cash.ladidiadidadida.

Shit, we were so drunk last night. me with my walkingstick sliding around on the ice outside pubs. oh well, life is a gamble. I gamble on NOT falling on the ice whilst drunk. That would really mess up my life! But I am generally quite a lucky person, and I betcha that horse incident happened for a reason. Perhaps if I had not fallen off the horse and kept on cutting the heads off the sheep, I would accidentally cut off my hand or something. Perhaps the horse knew all this and threw me off so I had to change job in the slaughterhouse. Hm, I believe in things like that.

Now I am the most careful person in the world when it comes to walking around on slippery surfaces. I don´t think I will ever fall again. I have learnt. To be able to walk is quite important.

Right after I had injured my knee, I was in so much pain and was not very happy. I was in fact considering just amputating my foot, so I did not have to worry about it anymore. Then I would be happy rushing around in my wheelchair. However, I don´t think the doctors would have let me amputate.hahaha, quite funny to think that these thoughts actually crossed my mind (!)
