7 weeks ago as I was getting out of bed I heard an awful noise.
In my right knee. There was instant lighting and thunder Well OK
there was instant pain.
Then it swelled and swelled, and swelled some more.
The only really good thing I can say about having a long term relationship with an orthopedic
doctor is if you call, they don’t schedule you for 2 months down the road.
In fact, after talking to the doctor, he explained that with the amount of swelling we would have to wait to get an MRI.. So we did for 6 weeks.
The MRI showed a bucket tear as well as an anterior and posterior tear of my right meniscus.Did I mention pain?
A week ago Thursday Dr L. went into my knee using arthroscopic surgery to repair the tears, instead he removed
the entire meniscus. It hurts..ice, elevate, ice,elevate, pee, whine……ice, elevate.
And ALL ThreeBengalBrats are mad at me, because they think that leg is the place to be,
so I am keeping the squirtgun handy.
Not sure how long before they all forgive me.
Now my left knee is making noise, I’m not as they say a real happy camper……
Live simply. Love generously.
Care deeply. Speak kindly.
