Nothing broken

I received a call from the orthopedic dr just before noon letting me know that they could fit me in at 2 this afternoon if I could make it.  Yes, I could! 
Well, after having my leg lifted and turned by sports dr AND the orthopedic dr, they came to the conclusion that I (or, as I understand it) merely bruised the muscle behind my knee that runs down my calf.  The O. dr said IF it was a torn meniscus, they wouldn't do anything about it at my age... what!?!?  But he'd be more than happy to give me a cortisone shot - Ummm NOOOOO!!  So the only other option he gave me was to try physical therapy for a few weeks - that I'm willing to try.

He also said that if the p.t. doesn't help, then he'll be HAPPY to give me the shot.... this man is just too focused on giving me a shot he knows I don't want.  And, he doesn't want me wearing the leg brace -said I can't move my knee with it on ( no duh!  I had to take it off to drive to the appointment and then put it back on before getting out of the car).

It doesn't hurt as bad today as it did yesterday, so I'm hoping these two drs. know what they're talking about... hopefully, tomorrow I can spend some time in my sewing room - got to make up for a couple of days.

Ok, I'm off to fix a quick dinner for hubby and myself while I decide whether I want to attend tonight's guild meeting.

take care...
