The Knee
Fri May 29 2009

I'm on hold. The ER Doc, who put me in a leg brace then told me to follow up with my clinic, also told me that it would be best if I were not in the brace for more than a day or two.

The doc at the clinic wants an MRI of my knee.

The soonest appointment I could get for an MRI is Sunday June 7 at 7:00 in the evening.

The doc at the clinic wants me to stay in the leg brace until after the MRI.

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the time between last Monday (when I injured my knee), and June 7 is more than a day or two.

So, I'm in hurry-up-and-wait mode.

Oh, I've gotten tired of telling people I hurt my knee stepping off the stoop. I'm now telling them that I injured it skydiving, waterskiiing barefoot, or trying to learn to ride a Harley. Or all of the above at once. Hubby suggested I tell people it was the result of a kickboxing accident.

    I know you want to get moving, but its only a week away.

    Until they know what damage has been done inside, I would leave the brace on just in case.
