Total Bummer --> Knee update.

Okay here is the latest in case you are wanting to be updated.
For those of you that don’t know.. I have been training for a 5K and while running a week ago I feel. I landed with all my weight on my right knee.. through the week it got worse.. so I went to the doctor on Friday. And they sent me to the orthopedic specialist.
So I went to the orthopedic dr yesterday and he said it looked like I damaged my cartilage behind my knee cap, (the meniscus) and wants to send me to get an MRI. So I will be getting an MRI on Friday at 1pm here in McKinney then I will have follow up with the orthopedic dr. on Monday (not sure the time on this, Joshua (my husband) set this up. I will let you guys know when I find this out.)
Currently I am on crutches and not suppose to use my knee if at all possible.. so in the office I am scooting around in my rolling chair..Thankful for hard wood floors.
Should be interesting.. as for the pain.. not too bad in the morning but it just gets worse during the day and at night.. yeah OUCH!!! Right now it is throbbing..
Good times.. Trying to figure out what God is trying to teach me here.... only thing I can come up with is learning to ask for help.. because I am having to do that ALOT.. too much if you ask me...

  1. Sounds like it's similar to what Dallas did to his knee - a torn meniscus. I'm so sorry!!!
