much better now

Boy I was sure down on Monday...  later that evening I discovered my antidepressant that I take in the morning still in the pill box!  Wow, that's what happens when I miss one dose!  I was a mess and thank God I had the day off and was able to spend it with my friend Vickie - she accepts me as I am when I fall apart - she's just there.  We spent the afternoon crying and drinking beer.  We later had a good laugh about me missing my pill  'Oh Lis, no wonder you were such a mess' and I said 'Vic, I'm glad I was with you when it happened it was meant to be'. 

The MRI shows no tear but the doc wants a second opinion.  Of course I got a stern lecture on how I have been getting back in to running and walking too soon - I didn't want to tell him his therapists said I could try but I know I've been pushing myself beyond to get back in the game. He says to stop it all now - I've got to get well.  He keeps saying over and over that even when I get well that running is not going to be a good option for me :(  and I need to consider biking b/c it is does not pound on the knees.  Walking at this point is to hard for this injury :(  So now that plan is if the 2nd opinion is okay I will begin having a series of shots - which lubricate the knee joint - it supposed to hurt worse than a cortisone shot!  But anything is better than surgery at this point!  I am going be be evaluated for a brace thurs - i guess that will slow me down too!  What an interesting adventure this has been.


My husband bought me a new bike yesterday in support of my non running/walking verdict from the doc - it is so pretty.  He is such a sweetie - he has already purchased something for my car to load the bikes on!  I'm ready!  I love the feeling of moving fast when I exercise - I guess that's why I love running so.  So here goes!  Of course when the doc says....
