the results are in

I got a call on Saturday from my doctors office that I was not expecting. The results from my MRI were in. I guess I messed up the mechanisms that keeps the knee cap in place. I thought for sure that I would have to have surgery. What I time I picked to have this done! So that gave me something to worry about for the rest of the weekend.
I already had an appointment to see a knee doctor on Monday and prepared myself for the worst. Well, it turns i dont need surgery!! I am getting a new brace which I could not be happier with!! I can start putting weight on it and try to bend my knee as it will let me. I have a pretty good chance that I can dislocate it again but Im going to try my hardest not to let it happen.
Then I got to thinking last night, what if I really did need surgery? It just seems crazy that I probably did a lot of damage and i can just start walking around again....we shall see. I want to get rid of these as fast as i can! I hoping I will be able to do without them by Theresa's wedding. Thats my goal. I dont think I should be trusted to walk down the isle with crutches while holding a flame. I will not burn down the church on Theresa's big day! I just cant!
Awesome side note of the day: So I have been just eating my lunches upstairs in the staff lounge to save energy. Well I headed over to the elevator to return to work and it wouldnt respond when I pressed the down button. The button would not light up and no sound came from it. So I stood there for awhile and nothing. I really didnt know what I was going to do. I knew I couldnt stand up there all day so I went back through the lounge and headed down the back stairs. Yeah that was so much NOT FUN! I seriously almost fell head first because I didnt get my crutch planted right on one step. I was just praying no one would want to come up or go down the stairs because I was going to be there for awhile. I guess it might have been a good workout for my knee to get it back to into shape but seriously. What if i was in a wheelchair? one can only imagine the end of that story!!
