- take a shower
- schedule the MRI
- work on getting some Christmas things put away (just a few)
Milestone 1 - successfully completed this on shortly after the girls left for school and before I started working ( from the couch) Nice to feel human again and managed without incident in the shower
Milestone 2 - earliest I could get in for an MRI is tomorrow at 1 pm. Anxiety is now building about this visit - as I am beginning to feel more in my knee and it is not all normal - Hoping for the best and fearing the worst (surgery) for which there is never a good time .
Milestone 3 - I have a bit more pain today than yesterday and was afraid this one may need to wait - but the girls were very helpful after dinner. They helped me get a basket of laundry put away and take down the mantel decorations.
I may have pushed it a bit -because my leg was really sore by bed time. Either that or the swelling is going down and I am having more feeling. Having never been through this type of thing - I am not sure what to expect.
Tomorrow I have my MRI and hoping it will provide me with more answers. Frustrated it will be a week before I can get in to see an ortho doctor - hoping my GP can at least read the results. Hoping I wont need surgery although it is a very real possibility ...scares the crap out of me, so I am trying not to go there in my mind just yet.
