Surgery or not to surgery... one week will tell.

Bummer, went to the doctor today and had them check out my knee. Took some x-rays and things looked normal. Other than the pre-existing condition I’ve had that I loving refer to snap-crackle-pop knee noises the x-rays didn’t show much. However, the symptoms I’ve described, and given this pre-existing condition the doctor thinks that I’ve torn either a ligament, or tendon. I’m not sure which he said honestly as all I heard was ‘ripped’ and lost attention and I thought he said the ligament was torn. Something about it getting caught on then getting stuck on the bone, which is why I’m getting the ‘pop’ and the searing pain before the pop. So Wednesday I get the MRI, next week I figure out whether I just need surgery, or whether it’s back to physical therapy. Woo, more surgery! So stay tuned for more news. In the meantime I have another appointment tomorrow morning at 10a.m. to see how my risk is for cancer. What a fantastic week this is turning out to be.
