MRI

I don't know how many of you guys know but I have been in a knee brace for a couple of weeks now. It is the same knee I hurt last May when I fell down some stairs. I sent me to months of physical therapy. I was doing really great and not having any pain till a few weeks ago. We were going family prayer and Kimball somehow jumped on my bad knee and re-injured it. It is even worse than before. I have gone to the doctor and he ordered and MRI and a surgery consult. He thinks I am going to need surgery but then said that he was not a knee expert. I had the MRI done this week. It hurt like crazy to have my knee help in that position for so long! I have an appointment with the specialist on Monday. I am in such pain. I don't know if I really want surgery. But I do know that I do not want to be this much pain! Knee pain is horrible!! Sorry, don't mean to whine. I have had lots of help. My friends help take Phoebe to and from school. Jake is doing so much around the house. My mom comes up every weekend she can and helps with laundry and the kids. By the end of the night I am sore and tired I can't do much. It is pretty frustrating. I have so much to do and now I is hard just to walk down the hall. Such is life. I just need to try harder to have a good attitude. I know that it will help over all.
