You're just lucky the language filter does not understand Swedish you bad boy.

One of my teachers wants to use a chart I created for part of an assignment as an example of what to do/good student work. What's scary is that it took me less than 10 minutes to throw together using Visio.

Soooo...

After I got my MRI last week, I was told the Dr. would call me with the results (my initial diagnosis was a torn meniscus and maybe a small tear in my ACL). Instead, I got a phone call on Friday telling me the doctor wanted to see me on Monday to discuss the results.

My immediate thought was that he wasn't calling me in for good news.

I went in yesterday and as he was putting all of the images from the MRI up he told me, "well, you don't have a torn meniscus and your ACL looks good."...pause..."however, a blown ACL would be good news."

I have moderate to severe arthritis in my right kneecap. I got a huge shot of cortizone and will have surgery which (including PT) will take 4-6 months to recover from. Did I mention I'm not quite 41?

I've had a crappy couple of days.

And after the 4-6 months it will be a lot better?

Knees are delicate things, really. Arthritis can be managed, right? Hopefully the surgery helps you feel better.

After 4-6 months it'll be a lot better for the next several years. Then in about 15 years, I'll need knee replacement surgery.

My cheese is sad.



On the bright side, my doctor says they are making huge leaps in treating arthritic knees. There is a lab right now that is growing a cartilage "slurry" that shows promise in regrowing cartilage on a damaged joint. They've also been experimenting with using some of the wrinkle fillers like Restilin and Perlane to provide cushioning where the cartilage is missing. So maybe in 15 years something better will come along.
