I’ve hurt my knee - bit pissed off with DPs ridiculous comment

[bagpuss90]

I’ve hurt my knee - been told to rest it . I’ve been doing my best . My DP and I usually do a salsa class on a Thursday . Obviously I can’t do that tonight . I’m been stuck in with my sodding knee and I’m a bit fed up . I’ve suggested we pop out for a quick drink He said if I’m fit enough to do that then I’m fit enough to do a dance class. Umm AIBU to think you can’t really compare the two ? I think he’s being a dick .

Drinking won't help it recover but yeah it's nothing like doing the salsa what's he on?

Today is Wednesday for starters

Yes, because sitting down with a glass of wine is exactly the same as salsa dancing 🙄 Silly sod.

oh gawd - apologies . That should say Wednesday !

What a stupid thing to say! You can barely walk, let alone dance. Have you got crutches? If he won't join you get a cab to the pub and meet a mate there instead. He can go dancing with himself. It was good enough for Billy Idol. Lol.

Exactly what does this man do while he's having a drink?

Alcohol is not good if you have any inflammation - you are best to rest it, keep it raised, ice of necessary, painkillers (ibuprofen is more useful than paracetamol) and don't let it go stiff!

FWIW I think doctor's advice to rest is often wrong and keeping things mobile is more helpful. I'm not suggesting dancing, but a walk to pub might do you good.

Very jealous that you have a DH who will go to salsa with you.

Can he not go to the class alone? Do you have to have a dance partner to attend?

He obviously wants to go.. just send him and get the telly to yourself.

I know …😩

Sadly with this class you don’t “rotate “ it’s a couples thing . Otherwise I would suggest he went alone

I would imagine that even with your dodgy knee you'd still be better at salsa than I would be lol. Two left feet here. But no, YANBU, having a quiet drink and dancing energetically are not comparable activities.
