Remember after swimming last Thursday, my right knee was twice the size of my left knee? Rather a bit like a melon? Well, today I know why.
I met with the orthopedic surgeon after having x-rays taken. Bits of my knee caps are rubbing on each other - it was as clear as day on the x-rays.
The game plan is for me to go in next Tuesday and have some of the fluid removed, then get a "cortisone"-like shot. I get to lay low on Wednesday and it's back to reality on Thursday.
Here's hoping it works. There is talk of a partial knee cap replacement down the road, but a long way down the road would be fine with me.
Meanwhile, I am grieving the loss of running. I will probably never run again. We are hoping I can walk - normally . . .
