Blah

Today was a very, very busy day at work. Well…at least the last half of the day. My boss has been living in NY, so we’ve been communicating via e-mail and phone calls, but she finally relocated to TN and today was her first official day in the office. I felt like it would be busy, and when I met with her – I was right! We went over A TON of stuff, and I definitely have my work cut out for me the next couple of weeks. It’s good work though – I still enjoy it very much, and adore the people I work with In other news, I am having knee issues. I think I posted about it awhile back, but I’ll refresh. I used to do competition cheerleading, and in ’99 I tore my ACL, MCL, and Meniscus. Basically 2 ligaments and some cartilage. I had to have a full ACL reconstruction, and all has been well for 9 years. In December I noticed a bit of pain and swelling, but ignored it for a few weeks thinking it would just disappear. Wrong. It only got worse and then I could feel it popping every time I walked. I went to the same orthopedic doc that did my original surgery, and after a physical exam, he suspects I have re-torn my meniscus. No fun. And the thing is, I have no idea when it could have happened. There wasn’t ever an “ow” moment that made me think something was wrong – it was very gradual. So he gave me some anti-inflammatory meds to take for a few weeks, and then I go back on the 16th for an MRI. If I did happen to re-tear, unfortunately the only repair would be surgery. I have dreaded another surgery ever since the very day I got out of the hospital from the first one. Let’s just keep our fingers crossed that it is more minor than he thinks, and that the meds resolve the problem!
