I saw the doctor today for my knee and all he could do today since I am pregnant was drain my knee and see if I had clear fluid or blood in my knee. He said if there was blood then I would have to see another doctor and highly suggested I get an MRI done because blood in the knee is a sign of damage..and I would need an MRI to see exactly what I have done. Well, I really didn’t want to have to let him stick a needle in my knee to drain but I did let him. He said I had blood in my knee and he showed me a lot that he drained. It felt better having some of the pressure out but honestly right now it feels just like it filled right back up and is even more uncomfortable than it was before. Next week I have another appointment with the surgeon so we can get to know each other and he can figure out what to do next. My OB/GYN told me she would rather wait until I deliver the babies to have the MRI so I am kind of in a hard spot. I was told I can’t return to work until further notice also. Hopefully my knee heals soon and hopefully I don’t require any surgery down the road. I hate surgery. Scares me to death. I am required to wear my immobilizer and use crutches but when I’m at home sitting or laying then he wants me to not wear it and try to move my knee as much as possible so it doesn’t get stiff.
Enough about me..Alan is sick..fever..chills..congestion…etc. He must have picked up a bug from the ER on Friday night. Taylor developed a fever of 102 today so here we go again. She was just sick with a fever on Halloween. WTF? I want my mommy. Well..I need to get to bed and hope Taylor’s fever doesn’t get too high tonight. Advil..please keep working.
