Day 2

Now that I have the proper equipment to help me get around I am hoping to make progress in 3 other areas today






  1. take a shower



  2. schedule the MRI



  3. 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.
