IR: Da Results

So, finally got the results of the MRI and I have a torn cartilage in my left knee. I will need surgery to have it removed. There might be other issues, but we shall see after the surgery.

Now it is time to fully focus on the move. We are very excited and hope things go well.

Wish us luck.

IR: Magnetom

So last night I had my MRI test. If you are not familiar with this, it is a high intensity 3D scan mainly to pick up anything that a standard X-Ray or Cat scan could not.

I have to thank Jenny so much for taking me to the exam and treating me later to a Sonic Blast. Mmmmm Mmmm!

The machine was extremely loud, but I didn't have to deal with it for that had some very nice headphones and allowed me to have music paying during the procedure. I also lucked out in having only my knee scanned because I am not Claustrophobic, but I think a freak out might happen if I was in there head first. Hopefully we will never find out.

The procedure was a series of scans range from 5 to 9 minutes long totaling 45 minutes. Again the music and headphones really helped.

When it was all over my back and neck was killing me. My knee was still weak, but not as bad as the rest of my body for a short period of time. Hard, flat tables with one not so soft pillow really suck.

Now I have to wait until Monday to see what the results where and what the next step will be.

Hoping for the best.

IR: Follow Up Visit

So, as you know my injury happened again. I went to the office for my followup appointment and the doc was not very welcoming. It seemed like I was waisting his time in the visit. I don't know. Anyway, I have to have an MRI done on my knee to see what is going on and if I may need surgery. This will happen this upcoming Tuesday. The following Monday I have the follow up appointment with the ortho to discuss the results of the test.

I hope no surgery will be required and my recovery will be quick. I the meantime I am ordered to no work until the November 19th. Sucks!!!!!

Hope that all will be well.

Down & Out

So, My knee was doing better with me on restricted duty. It was doing well for 5 days until it decides to give out. Man I was pissed off. I just don't need this now, but I do need to take care of it.

So, I have a follow up appointment the doctor's tomorrow and now I think an MRI will have to happen. Hopefully we will see what is going on.

Pray that it is not too serious.
