I hate getting old! For the past month, my left knee as started hurting until recently where it’s gotten to the point I can barely walk on my left leg. I really didn’t want to go in and see the doctor. We’re already going through our share of injuries with teenage boys. I guess it’s dad’s turn. Anyway, the doctor called back after my MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and told me I tore my medial meniscus (see the picture to the left). I never had any kind of trauma or event that I could remember that caused it. The doctor said that is not uncommon. I could have just twisted one way or stepped off a curb and caused it. Well, the best treatment for this is arthroscopic knee surgery so guess what I’m doing on my Labor Day weekend? Yes, I will be recuperating from knee surgery. Meanwhile, the doctor told me to stay off the left and use crutches. NOT FUN! I do ask you keep me in your prayers for the surgery. It will be Friday, September 1st at 1pm.
