Update On My Knee
Yesterday was the first day I could walk without relying on the cane. Since Friday my knee has gotten stronger each day. Up until then it was very painful at times. I never thought I would get to where I am now...hardly any pain at all. Just a little twinge now and then to let me know it isn't quite completely healed.
Monday I saw my family doctor and just to make sure that my self-diagnosis about my knee ligament was right I had him check my knee. He turned my knee every which way he could and each time he asked if it hurt. And all I could say was no. Victory!
Doc thought it might possibly be a torn meniscus but I knew better. My diagnosis was a very badly injured or possibly torn medial collateral ligament. Had it not gotten better I was going to request an MRI but, knock on wood, I don't think that test is in my immediate future. At least I hope not.
Last week at the grocery store I used one of their motorized scooters. That was so much fun that I think I will do that again this week.
This part of the country is still having low temps and we just went through another storm giving us another 3" of snow, some ice, and sleet. Another one of those storms will hit us in a day or two again. These storms are getting so old and I am so weary of them that when we do get one all I can do is yawn. Same old same old.
