May I propose an underrated whump injury? Dislocated patella aka kneecap. The dislocated shoulder is a staple and always good, but imagine the dislocated kneecap. It pops back in on its own, but the pain is still there, the ligaments damaged. You almost always get a bone bruise, a deep, aching pain. You CAN walk, mostly, but it hurts, running even more so. Stairs, going from sitting to standing, any heavy lifting, all a no go and very painful. Beyond pain, there's the instability that makes every movement anxiety inducing, because it could happen again, and something could tear worse, or the bruise could become a break. If you don't have hyper flexible ligaments the joint will swell terribly. If you do, it can be a recurring issue. Recovery is slow, including weeks to months of PT and possibly surgery. It has great potential.

Totally unrelated, I brought the big dance number in my show to a screeching halt during final tech by dislocating my patella. I now need a buddy to half haul me down the stairs to the dressing rooms and through half the dances. It is my second time dislocating this same patella (many years apart) and it is extremely annoying. If anybody wants to write this injury into a story, ask away, just know I don't have experience with the knee swelling symptom because I possess freakish hyper flexible ligaments.

“I hate tech week” I say into the microphone.

Nobody disagrees with me. Nobody jeers. Everyone just nods solemnly and says “they’re right.”

Working with untrained stagehands is always so interesting

I just rediscovered my favorite video of all time, it's from tech week last year and it features a literal pile of people asleep in the corner, two of my friends learning a line dance, two of my other friends doing a 5 minute plank, a Shrek movie marathon and our very over-it director
