Home from the monthly rheumatology appointment. *sigh* I'd been wanting to get an outside opinion on my knee since I blew the damned thing out, and got it today both from the Nurse Practitioner I see at the rheum office and the chiropractor that Megan sees. Under normal circumstances the opinion on the bone popper wouldn't have been as heavy a blow... but his comments were almost word for word what Nurse Needle (yes, that's really her name. Amusing, no?) said... words which I'd already heard from two friends who'd had to go the surgery route themselves.
If it's flopped and undone the progress once [it has], it'll continue to do so. It means there's either more damage from this injury or damage done at an earlier time... and that the ACL finally blew because there's insufficient musculature stringing the leg together on the inner side of the knee.
Which means? Surgery.
*sigh* I'll see Dr Nwaneri in another week or so, and that'll be the final say there. If his opinion is still surgery, I've had enough input from voices I trust to simply accept it. It doesn't make me happy, not in any way, shape, or form, but continued kvetching only would prolong the experience.
I'm going to lay down for a bit, I think, which means my IM client will stay turned off. Fox, Fire, Merc? If you see this, let Quincy know what's going on? He worries, and I'd rather he knew I was home safe, if a bit blue. I'll turn AIM on when I get up. I just... need to decompress a bit, before I explode.
*hugs*
*kicks iTunes for being psychotic*
