The Results Are In!

 Hello my dear followers! I returned to the doctor this week and got the results of the MRI. Nothing is torn, thankfully. The side of my knee is sensitive due to being hit, so it will remain tender. however, that alone does not explain the excruciating pain that i feel, which turns out is due to a minor problem. If you were to remove your knee cap and look behind it, you would see a layer of fat. This fat keeps swelling, putting pressure on my meniscus, and getting pinched. Who knew! I had no clue there was even fat back there to be totally honest. The doctor ordered that I take physical therapy, might need a few cortisone shots, and see how that goes. I have muscle detioration due to favoring that knee. Because of this there is no muscle to allow my knee to track correctly when i walk. We are hoping that the physical therapy will fix the tracking issue, which will hopefully fix the swelling, and I can go on about my life in a merry way and be happy. I am so happy for this. With the pain I have been in I was sure I was going to need surgery.
   On a different note, my husband is in Belize on vacation. for those that do not know, this is located in South America. He has been traveling around Belize and the surrounding area taking in the sites and was kind enough to send me pictures. It is so beautiful. Today is also his birthday. He is 36 years young and still rocken his good looks. Happy Birthday Michael.

Sincerely,
JD
