I'M ONE HAPPY ME!!!!

I hadn't said anything about about it on my blog but I have been in really bad pain with my left knee since the first of the year. On January 30th I finally went to the Dr. who took 6 x-rays and lab work and came back with "degenerative joint disease". Which I told him was a nice way of say, I was getting old!!!! As if I didn't know.

Finally it got so bad that I had them refer me to a Orthopedic Dr. who I saw on March 26th. He thought I had torn cartilage under my knee cap and that he would do arthroscopic surgery but wanted me to have an MRI, just to be sure. I had the MRI last Saturday and saw the Orthopedic Dr. again yesterday.

YEAH!!!!! He says the tear does not look that bad, but that I did have fluid on that knee. He said, we can do either of two things: either go ahead with the surgery or wait and see if it gets better. Now, what kind of choice is THAT?!!!!! I told him I believed in prayer and I believed in healing and I would wait for my healing thank you!!!

He asked what I was taking and I said, Ty*le*nol and he said he wanted me to start taking 3 Ibu*pro*fen 3 times a day. The bottle says, 2 every 6 hours, but he said it would not hurt me to take 3 and also the Ty*le*nol at night to sleep better.

Here it is just 24 hours later and I can already tell the difference. PRAISE GOD - praise God!!!!! I am almost feeling fit enough to do a happy dance.

Now you can also understand why the painting, wallpapering job was such a big deal and took us so long to complete.
