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!!!!
