Just when you think you have adjusted to all the pain you have to live with, something stupid happens.
2 Weeks ago I was stepping out of the shower, onto a dry floor, on a dry towel, and my right knee buckled. Yes the one without a meniscus….God be praised I didn’t hit the floor, but I did hit the edge of the shower and the wall pretty hard.
Both of my doctors were out on vacation, so the next doctor I saw was my pain management doctor.
After she got done explaining what the word stupid meant and how it supremely applied in this case, she sent me for stat x rays.
When we got home I glanced at the calendar and realized I had an appointment with my surgeon that afternoon.
Back to S.E. Imaging to get a copy of the x-ray on disk. Dr Lowell read them and said you have a new fracture at L-3. Great, wonderful, the best news is that the treatment for this , is to inject a cement like material into it to stabilize the vertebrae.
He said NO WAY was he taking a chance of my body rejecting that, a real nightmare is what he said.
So a brace for 8-10 weeks, an for God’s sake if it gets worse call him.Vertebres will heal is you behave youself
These are spring Phlox that grow nearly everywhere here in Ocala, I put this together so you can admire Tiggers fangs!

No BIG news here, we are all just trying to stay warm….
Record Cold continues…..
Woke to freezing rain yesterday morning, so after TheMasterOfTheUniverse left for
work, I went back to bed, had 3 cold Cats
all wanting to lay on me for warmth.We settled for close cuddles under the blankies.Tigger has decided that old saddle blankets
work, even on top of a couch…..Here he is doing the slow crawl approach.
I am finally doing better, the infection is slowly clearing, and..
You wont believe that I “tweaked” my right knee getting up, and its
the size of 2 baseballs, apt. with an orthopedic next week..
Geez.. This was NOT the way to start the NEW YEAR!!!!
