I saw the orthopedic surgeon yesterday. I love this group; they have some amazing doctors…
Looks like a serious sprain, at least per Dr A. I took more X rays…no broken bones. Looks like I will still be on crutches, but am off the immobilizer for the time being. He’d like to put me in a brace with hinges so I can bend my knee while giving it support, though he would like to wait for the abrasions on my knee to heal a little.
He also wants me to get an MRI to be sure the swelling and bruising is not because of ligament damage, he is worried about my medial meniscus.
I go in for an MRI Friday evening, and then another appointment with the ortho four days after that. That will be the moment of truth. Keep your fingers crossed…
Oh, and the chest still hurts like a bitch…but what can you do? I’ve been told to force deep breathes or cough a couple times a day to avoid pneumonia or any other infection from not inhaling/exhaling deeply. You can all imagine how good that feels…
