I have not blogged for a while. Not really much to blog about. My doc says not to increase my mileage so I haven't. I actually decreased my total weekly mileage. I even tried cycling, lets just say my knee hurts way less while running than my posterior on a bike seat. So the bike is back in the garage. Speaking of sore knees. It has improved & I went for a follow up with my doc. He wants to get an MRI but appreciates my wanting to not have any procedure I don't need so he's going to send me to an Orthopedist.
Okay right now I am waiting. Waiting to get in to see an Ortho Dr. I'm hoping & praying he can tell what is wrong without the use of enormous tubes filled with gigantic magnets that move my hydrogen atom out of alignment and then track them as they move back into place and use a computer to create a visual image of said data. In other words I'd like to avoid the MRI. I have a thing about someone moving my hydrogen atoms around. Just call me crazy but it seems sort of well dangerous. What it my hydrogen atoms revolt and refuse to go back what happens then?
Okay I've had an MRI before and I know it is painless but still so is an xray and they still put a giant lead bib on you. Plus xrays take much less time and don't require being placed in giant metal tubes for 45 minutes to an hour. If that isn't bad enough then you have to be "really still." I'm the mom of a 2 & 4 year old I don't know what "really still" means anymore. besides surely laying in one position for an hour one is going to have an itch, a cough, a sneeze, a hiccup after all the body has a away to letting you down when you need it to cooperate the most.
All that said I still am waiting to hear back about an appointment to see if the afore mentioned trauma will have to be endured or if some simple poking, twisting and others manipulating of my sore knee will do the trick.
