Went back to the Orthopedic guy today. It's been 3 months since my last visit. I kinda got hung up in Florida nearly two months longer than I planned. But I got a lot done so I can't complain.
It's been six months since the injury, the knee aches, but the sharp pains are greatly reduced. I can go up one flight of stairs, in the normal manner, then the pain starts. Same with walking, about 150 yards before the pain starts.
I told this to the doc and he says, "Do you think you need an operation?"
Hell, I don't know. I'm now scheduled for an MRI next week. At least we might be able to see what exactly happened and if it's worth fixing.
More when it happens.

I went on for years with various knee issues and treatments. It was totally up to me. My Meniscus was totally gone. I was bone on bone. Once the pain got to the trigger point for me I told the DR it was time. They said OK good. Let's get you scheduled. It took another 9 months to get both my knees replaced.
Best thing I have done.
It is very personal decision for sure. We each have our own level of tolerance.
I luv puppies. All kinds. Sweater are my most luv'd.
HB has bad knees .
But he will NOT get them looked at .
That's just how he is . He has a bullet in one ,and football injury to the other.
He has to be very careful when he walks on uneven ground..
TISE....

Someday sometime a switch will trip and he will say "it's time."
I can't believe how bad I let it go before finally surrendering to reality.
It was going to a 2 week boot camp that I couldn't really do all the activities that pushed me over the edge. Realizing how much of life I was missing out on due to the knees.

Power out for me as well, last night. We had 3 -8 inches of very wet snow. Lights flickered for a few minutes, then gone. Back up this afternoon. Supposedly, some transformer about a mile away popped.
We lucked out ..
Very windy, just a few flurries .
The sun was out today but cold and windy.
