So today I went for an MRI of my knee to see if I have a torn meniscus (sp?). MRIs are not painful but very noisy, and it is hard to stay still when you are nervous. I don't like the noise.
I brought the CD home and of course I had to look at it. Ugh, I have so much fat on my legs! It's disgusting, even in black and white. One of these days I have to get myself in better shape. I just feel so discouraged. I was doing great on the treadmill before the knee thing happened. I might get back on again next week if the doctor gives his OK. I only walk at 3 mph and it isn't high impact, so I think it should be okay.
I saw the doctor for my knee pain about a week ago. He is very nice and speaks with an English accent. I thought it was arthritis acting up but he says I have very little arthritis in my knee. Hopefully, this MRI will show what's really going on so I can do something about it. I wear a brace and do the ice thing and also use a TENS unit, but I want the pain to stop totally so I can get on with life. I go back to the doctor next Monday morning.
Yesterday, Nick went in for dental surgery again. They are building up his front jaw for his implant. He seems to be taking it much better this time around than last time.
My BP medicine ran out after a year and I was afraid they'd make me go to the office for a checkup before they gave me my refill, but they authorized 2 months which makes me happy. I might stop in just to get a scrip for a mammography, anyway. All these damn tests they want you to do!
And Wednesday, Julie goes to the vet. I wish I could get her groomed first but she has to have proof of her rabies shot, first.
