They are always so much fun. I feel that concerts are always very intimate. You are standing super close to strangers and if it was for any other kind of event you would be in their personal space, but not at a concert. You are all right on top of another. It is rather interesting to look at when you think about it (possible research idea for nonverbal communication). Anyway. They are intimate and fun.
However they can also be painful. By this I mean painful emotionally and physically. My pain was both at my previous show. I went and saw my favorite band, Thrice. I haven't seem them live for quite sometime. I was super excited for this show. Their music speaks to me on so many different levels emotionally. They help me through pain and they also provide happiness. They have inspired one of my tattoos. This band means so much to me.
They were the headliner with Moving Mountains, O'Brother and La Dispute playing before them. Thrice opened their set with their newest single "Yellow Belly." I was super close to the front and in the center of the pit, when my knee got kicked and I got swung the opposite direction, dislocating my patella. I had to basically hang onto people to get out of the front of center stage.
My knee then started to pop back in place as they began singing "Somethings gone terribly wrong" in their song All the world is mad. Those few words stuck to me because something went terribly wrong, I should have been in the front for this entire set but instead I had a dislocated knee and had to ice it. I used one hand to ice my knee and the second hand held a tall boy of Lone Star.
In between the pain I rocked out as much as I could from the bleachers. Singing along at the top of my voice. I also tried not to cry emotionally because here I am sitting during my favorite band because I was in so much physical pain. However I sat and enjoyed it as much as I could. I did however pass-up the Invisible Children secret show afterwards, Dustin was playing an acoustic solo show after to raise funds for Invisible Children.
I got home took a long hot bath and then iced my patella. I took some advil and then slept. I woke-up today in excruciating pain. I then realized that I needed to go to Urgent Care. After going to four different locations I finally found a place that took my insurance. It was very frustrating. I hate insurance companies and it is ridiculous that I had to go to four different locations to be see when I was in this much pain.
After I was seen, my x-rays showed that my patella is still not completely back in place and I have to go to an ortho specialist which I have made an appointment for. I am now wearing an immobilizer and on vicodin. It is slightly scary because I could be needing surgery. Which means I may not be able to work for a few weeks. I don't know how to survive without working, I mean I rent and other bills and what not. These answers are just waiting for Friday.
In the meantime I am out of commission. I have no vehicle and I can't ride my bike, it sucks. Getting to and fro work is going to be a challenge but I believe I am up for it. After all this is just an experience that I have to deal with. Thankfully I will have some musical inspiration.
