The "My Knee is Screwed up and I need happy" hauls!

[JediFarfy]

So, 2 days before Christmas I slipped on the ice at work and twisted my knee. At this point, it's been more than a month and I'm pretty sure I ripped my MCL completely off my bone. It hurts. I have to walk with a cane and can't bend my knee. On the bright side, I'm losing weight like crazy, but painfully. So I've needed happy.

First happy was the sale, with 2 hauls:

1-
P+P Skin
Fix +
Brush Cleaner
Hush e/s

My friend and I were online, discussing our favorite MAC topic: eyeshadow, which led to my second haul the day after the first.

2-
Sketch
Romp
Plum Dressing
Honey Lust
Nocturnelle
Beauty Marked
Twinks
Mulch

Whoops. Should I have done that? Too late!

Then BBR came out a couple of days later. Sure enough, my knee was aching, I hadn't been out of the house in 3 weeks, and well...

3-
Flip e/s
French Cuff e/s
Red Devil l/g
brush 214

Hmm and haa'd about 226, decided against it, and now need it. Anywho, yeah, throwing money around. But it made my knee happy. Alas, I was tired and had empties to take back and overall as of today had not been out of the house except for work. I can't walk to the bus, so I have to wait for transport everywhere. Arg. Then today I had a ride.

SWEET FREEDOM!

Naturally I lost my mind.

4-
Sable e/s (free)
Texture e/s (free)
Gesso e/s
Newly Minted e/s
Matte
15 pan pallet

My knee feels very happy today.

Woo! Great haul!!

I hope your knee heals soon. I hurt mine skiing last weekend, and it's such a pain in the arse!

 

[coachkitten]

Awesome haul! I feel a few times in the Seattle snow and ice as well. I hope that you get to feeling better.

Get well soon!

Do some bum-knee FOTDs LOL

 

[PollyRhythm]

First of all, love the haul!

Second, I completely understand the pain about your knee. I've had so many knee issues. I have a Valgus disorder('knocked-knees') in both knees since I was little and it's been ridiculous. I've had surgery to straighten them and everything but they completely reverted back and now it's hard for me to walk sometimes and I can't run or anything.

I really do hope you feel better and the pain goes away for you.

Here is to a painless knee. I have a ruptured disc in my back and it is really painful. I go for a while with none or at least not much pain, then one wrong step and I am on the bed with a heating pad and painpills.

I find that shopping online is a major pain reducer.


Lots of great MAC you bought, I think I might need a little retail therapy myself.

Loving the haul.

I hope your knee gets better, dear!

 

[JediFarfy]

Thanks everyone! My specialist appointment is Tuesday so I'll know then if I need surgery or just PT for months. Urg.

I'm feeling another haul coming up. I'll have to do some FOTDs.

OK, just saw this thread, and I'm sat here thinking....... should I hammer my own knee in, just so I have an excuse to shop like insane..... ha ha ha

Great hauling......hey if it makes you happy, it's good for your soul!

 

[Jewelybug]

I hope you start feeling better!

last Wednesday i fell in the rain, sprained my ankle and my knee (i'm in a leg immobilizer)... now I have an excuse for when I look at the receipt for HK to make myself feel better

I needed it for my pain!
