Just a quick update on my knee:

I met with my surgeon today. He is an extremely nice, caring man whom I feel very comfortable with - this bodes very well! We talked about what's been going on with my knee, and we're going ahead with a surgery date of Feb 1, 2010. I have a bone scan next week to see if something happening with my femur (fracture, or something else) isn't the cause of my pain, just in case, but he's confident saying that we will be meeting in the OR in the new year.
In the mean time, I'm still banned from riding, and anything else that aggravates my knee. Poop.

Thanks, Savvy and Siss - what happened with you Siss?? I'm sorry to hear that

 

[Sissimut-icehestar]

I put too much strain on my knees while I was growing (don't start your horses too soon people!). I had an x-ray and an MRI in October but with the swineflu taking up most of the the neighborhood doctors' time and me being very busy I haven't gotten the results yet. Thankfully it doesn't hurt too bad if I just rest my knee, but I haven't been able to excercise decently for 2 years now.

Eep! Siss I hope they get it sorted out quickly!!
