Well I will try yet again to post and see if it goes all the way to publishing it. It has been a time of more pain and more trips to the drs office as the pain in my knee has worsened again. The physician's assistants kept telling me it was because I haven't started PT yet and I looked at them and said, "what part of I can't even walk on it don't you understand?" I still got well the knee is just cranky from not doing the pt. Well even as a lay person I know when a body part is inflamed or not and when you have this amount of inflammation you don't tax it even more by doing therapy.
The surgeon came in to look at my knee and noticed how much swelling there still is and tenderness and said it was too soon to do another MRI after the surgery and he wanted to give me another cortisone injection to see if it would calm things down. I thought to myself ... oh boy, another waiting game. So on Thursday they are finally going to take the second set of sutures out and he's going to see if I am any better or if he has to order another MRI for me. I have lost faith in his asst's as they both were telling me the wrong thing about doing therapy at this stage. He said absolutely not as it might do more damage than good at this point! So our waiting continues, the pain continues, the not being able to do much continues and my patience is wearing thin as I have no one here to help me again and getting around to do things for myself is somewhat taxing. To top things off tonight I was running a low grade fever and my stomach was upset. The knee is not red or inflamed on the outside and I'm still on 2000 mgs of keflex a day so I don't see how I could have an infection anywhere in my body!
Well enough bitching about this as it serves no purpose but to let me get some things off my chest, sigh.
I hope all is well with my friends and guests who come here.
Peace, love, and courage,
Aly
