Good news - okay news

David and I both had our appointments yesterday.

David's arm is looking like it is starting to heal. We have another appointment on June 1. So that is good news. Hopefully it will continue. Poor David is starting to get depressed about his cast as it goes above his elbow. He did go put his feet in the pool over the weekend and that seemed to help a bit.

My appointment went okay. Still not sure what is going on with my knee, although they now think it is in the knee and something that would not show on an X-ray or MRI. They had me do squats to see where the pain was. Then they put this numbing fluid in my knee, let it sit for 10 minutes and then had me do squats again. The pain was gone! The pressure was still there - don't get me wrong - but no pain. So they gave me a cortisone shot and told me to come back in 6 weeks. Depending on how I feel then, they may need to scope my knee. Right now my knee hurts! He said that the cortisone would not take full affect until the 3rd day. Lucky me!
