Quick Update On Knee

Short post-

I am trying to keep my head up. Doesn't seem to be meniscus from physical eval. That could be good news if we don't have to repair a tear.

My patella is dislocated medially and there is a nice, big bone spur that looks like it is catching bone in flexion. So, this could be a possible source of the pain and catch that locks my knee and won't let me walk. Possibly.

The problem is we can't really be sure from the eval or x-ray as to what is damaged or what is exactly going on. So, we are on the waiting game again to see if I will need an MRI.

So, I have no true answers to put on my blog today. And I still walk with incredible pain- not walk, limp. Every step I take is painful. I truly pray for the day that I wake up and can walk without pain.

Even though I can't get the answer I need medically right now, I know that there is another right answer to this problem, and that is to stay positive and just do what I can do. So, after crying a ton on Rooney and Cayenne's shoulders, I picked myself up off of the floor and went to lift weights and aqua jog. After all, I have no room to cry when there is so, so, so much I can still work on.

So, totally onward and upward. This will be resolved one way or another and the fastest way will be with postive action.

You're going to be the best swimmer and cyclist in town! Put all that running effort and frustration at your knee toward the other sports, and see what you can do! :)

how is that knee? any better yet? i know how frustrating that can be!!! try and keep track by writing down when it hurts and compare it to what you are doing. i had an achilles problem for the longest time that i thought was from running and it turns out it was from cycling....so i was just aggravating it more when i was "resting" it. lol...
sending some healing vibes your way!!
