At 8:00 this morning I was standing tall at the orthopedist’s office.
Okay, standing is a relative term… it was more like listing 45 degrees and hopping around like a rabbit on a 3 day bender.

But you’d hop too if your right knee looked like this:

A little swollen… no?
The good news –
My xrays came back clean, no fractures, no bone spurs and no signs of arthritis.
The bad news –
The doctor thinks I tore my meniscus when I stained the deck. Fluid and swelling set in, which weakened the joint. Then the other day when I stepped off the porch I probably damaged my ACL and possibly my MCL. Not good.
There’s no way to tell for sure until I have an MRI which they couldn’t schedule until next Thursday.
So a weeks worth of ice, elevation, ibuprofen and gentle range of motion exercises.
And whining.
Don’t forget the whining.

Yes, there might be some of that kind as well.
