Got my MRI results for my left knee. I have another appointment on St. Patrick’s Day. Im probably having surgery. The gal said to discuss cortisone injections or possible surgery. Im not interested in cortisone shots. I got two cortisone shots in my right heel for supposed plantar fasciitis. It was a temporary pain relief not a fix. This has been going on way too long. He already explained the arthroscopic procedure. One girl at work said her husband had meniscus surgery on both knees 12 to 15 years ago and he is doing fine still. That was nice to hear.

My granddaughter sent me home with homework. Memaw, do you think you can fix this broke pillow? I told her I will bring it home and get out my needle and thread and give back next time I see her. I mended her halloween costume so she knows I can fix some things.

Got the MRI of my knee at 7:15 am. It was easier this time compared to the other two times. I went in feet first. Now to hear from the orthopedic doctor the results. I went earlier than what they said. I was to arrive by 7 for a 7:45 appointment. I was in their dept by 6:55. I was done by 7:52. Takes about 25 minutes. I then drove one hour away to hang with my daughter and granddaughters. Gotta do something fun to counteract the something not fun.

Got my MRI scheduled for Tuesday really early in the morning. My insurance approved it. The scheduler called me after I got home from work. So far, things are coming together easily.

Today, I visited an orthopedic surgeon. I had about 6 X-rays taken today of my left knee, front, back, stooped position, one foot behind the other, and my hips. I’ve been having popping and sticking with my left knee. My condition has been going on for probably six or more years and getting a bit worse in the last four years. I have ridden many miles on my bike since about 2013, almost 3000 miles. I think this probably got injured at Morraine State Park bike riding when I wrenched my knee. We have not ridden there much after that happened. Anyways, the good news is that I have no arthritis in my knees or hips. I have good range of motion. I have symptoms of a meniscus tear. Some tears heal, but since I have been biking and I also do chair aerobics on YouTube with Caroline Jordan Fitness, it’s considered I have already done physical therapy and it still did not get better. I’m currently waiting for the xray department to call me after they get permission from my insurance for an MRI. He says I will probably need an arthroscopy, to drill two small holes in my kneecap, look around with a camera, do some trimming, says I will need some time to heal but it is a fairly simple procedure. I asked if in five years, it would be ruined again and I would need more surgery. He said if I broke my arm and he casted it, I heal, cast comes off and I go out and fall again and reinjure it, I could have a problem. I asked if I could wait until Fall. He said I didn’t have to rush it. I want to ride my bike this summer then I won’t ride it right after surgery and can heal properly. My son in law had meniscus surgery. He told me my physical therapy will be pedaling a standing bike to get my knee back in shape. I was surprised when he considered my biking and workouts as physical therapy already done and I’m still not better. Next step is MRI if my insurance allows. He did offer me stronger drugs for pain. I said no thank you to that.

I’m overcoming driving a way I said I would never drive to get to work. The way I like to go has construction that is getting worse. I’ve been traveling two other highways to get to work. It is not my favorite way but I’m doing okay going this way.

One of my customers in my checkout line has a daughter with the same name as my granddaughter, Arya. We asked if we spelled it the same and then the gal behind her also had a daughter named Aria spelled a little differently. She visited a couple weeks ago. Yesterday, my last customer of the day was the lady again with the same name spelling. She was saying Arya and I said, you have an Arya too. She said to her mom that she brought with her, this lady has a granddaughter named Arya and if I remember correctly, it is spelled the same as her spelling. Arya’s grandma was buying a basket to hold Arya’s toys for her house. I remember scenarios more than faces. It was cool to see her again and enjoy a fun conversation. I showed her a picture of my granddaughters.
