For those who don't read my Twitter, or for those who need details, so I don't have to write them a hundred times.
On Sunday I was skiing at Sauleskalns. Or rather, I tried to. Almost immediately I "twisted" my leg and fell with severe pain. After I got up, the pain wasn't as strong anymore, but my leg was shifting from side to side at the knee, folding like a matchstick when I tried to stand on it.
I hobbled down to the bottom, returned my gear, drank some tea. I thought it was a dislocation or something like that. When we got back to Daugavpils, we went to the central hospital. There they took an X-ray, gave a preliminary diagnosis of a "torn ligament" and admitted me to the hospital, put a splint on (that's a fixation, like a half-"cast"). I laid in the hospital for two days, during which the doctor told me the following.
I have a torn medial ligament in my knee. With high probability, the cruciate one as well. The first one they can fix, the second one – no, they only do that in Riga. To establish an exact diagnosis, an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is needed. Here they'll only do it in a week, because there's a queue.
