Knee

Well my knee was healing really well until the Tuesday before season opened, I went up on the mountain with a friend to set up camp. We ended up getting a flat tire so we had to wait up there for a while. I went to climb over a kelly hump and as I was going down the back side I set my right foot down on a rock and I began to slide well kelly humps are steep but not long, so as the right leg was sliding my left knee (the one I just had surgery on) came down right on a rock and my lower legs were turned out from my upper leg. Well, it hurt but not to bad. The pain hasn't stopped since then. In fact it has gotten worse.

I was at Physical Therapy yesterday and the Physical Therapist asked why I was hurting and I told him I still hurt from when I fell. He said "STILL?!?!?!?!?" I said yes so he asked for the details of everything that happened and he just kept sighing and shaking his head. He thinks there is a good chance that I may have torn what I just had surgery on.

I have an appointment with my surgeon on Monday. The PT thinks he will want to do an MRI. I am really discouraged I had come so far. I was having almost no pain what so ever. It is just so disappointing that I did all of that work and now I may have to go through it all again. I don't want to wear that stupid knee immobilizer I mean look at it.

Six more weeks in that thing soundsmiserable. Then I still have to get the other one done!!! I am really angry. Poor Brian is so stressed about the whole thing. I mean I was just starting to look for a job again. He just needs help. He has been supporting me for so long, and it seems like as soon as I get healthy enough to start looking for jobs I get sick or hurt again. It just isn't fair to him.
