Feeling blue? Bake cookies

Today....Tues....10-2 12....feeling kinda down about my ongoing knee pain.  I have been seeing my doctor on and off for the last 2 weeks.  I kept having to have fluid drained off of my knee and nothing was cutting the knee pain under the cap and behind the knee.  I went for an MRI yesterday and figured it would not show anything and that I would be back to square 1 again and still have pain.
This morning, I finally gave in and put on my knee brace.  It did give me some relief and support and helps me to be able to walk without a silly limp.

This will be my new accessory now for awhile until I hear from the MRI results.

So....I was feeling like I should do something besides sit on the couch and mope.....so I got up and decided to bake some cookies.  CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES.  No carob ones either....hahahah
I managed to make more than the batch said so I cut the caloric count down to 128 calories per cookie.  Yippee.....now....I will see how many fit into my daily calorie count.

AND....I received a call from my dr as these were cooling and I have results!   I have a torn meniscus!
I am excited because now I know that the pain is real and there is a real cause behind it.   It is not my imagination.   Besides....I can't manufacture fluid inside my knee.....This is good news to me.  So now I wait to hear when my surgeon appt is scheduled and then I will know what my options are.
Thanks for reading and enjoy a cookie on me!!!!

Nice to know those are at home! I can always trust you not to binge and can rest assured there will be plenty left.

good to know you have something that can be fixed.

Love you,
