So the orthopedist says yes all that stuff the GP read off the MRI is true, but that's the knee pain you've been living with for years. The new pain is a severely strained calf. I think. Lets try treating it that way and see how it responds. We will deal with all the knee junk later when you can't stand it anymore.
Oddly enough I'm going to call that good news. He put a giant brace on me and now I don't feel pain just lying around in bed. 2-3 weeks home from work with the leg up minimum, but it doesn't sound like surgery this year anyway.
I'm dragging my way through three different books right now and they are all depressing. Please suggest some happy and/or funny books to read once I've slogged through them. I could use a pick me up.
Books: The Long War/Gideon/The Night Watch
Movies:Guardians of the Galaxy/about 15 minutes of A Touch of Venus - all I could stand
Soundtrack: one lone bird chirping
