Fantasies...not coming true!

While I would love to get out and try to re-enact the lyrics to this week's sexy song of the week, that won't be happening anytime soon. My knee is still giving me a hard time, making bending, squatting, and stairs difficult tasks. Hell, some days just walking is painful. But I grin and bear it for now. The worst part??? I can't wear all my cute little heels!!!! I'm stuck wearing boring and comfortable (read "ugly") flats. Sigh...

So I know you all have been anxiously sitting on the edge of your computer desk chairs to hear what the diagnosis is! I went for an MRI this past Saturday (yeah, gotta love the fact that they have Saturday appointments) and for my follow up today. Drum roll, please.......











SURGERY!!!!! Yay...not! I have a torn meniscus and some kind of cyst. So, I will be spending my summer on pain pills and crutches. One of those I don't really care for.

Booo! I'm so sorry to hear that- that does not sound like a recipe for a fun summer. When will you have the surgery?

Ahhh, poor baby! Maybe we can arrange for the spawn and I to come down for a week to help nurse you. Will you need rehab?

Sorry to hear you have to have surgery on your knee. On the plus side a couple of guys I work with have both had knee surgery this year and have recovered quite well from it, so you may be back on your feet sooner than you think.

Keep your chin up & let us know how everything goes.

HEY at least torn miniscus only knocks you back a couple days and really you can get back to exercise quite quickly!!! could be lots worse.. and your knee will feel SO MUCH better after the surgery!!!

Thanks for the support! The surgery will be after school gets out for the summer. Not sure about the date yet, as I'm waiting to hear back about that.

Jenny- you seem to know a lot about this process. Are you in the medical field?
