went to my Dr today annnd, i'll be having surgery on Feb. 12th. (12 days!) the procedures being done: "left knee arthroscopy, partial synovectomy, chondroplasty patella & lateral release" (whatever the fuck all that jazz means)
i'll be having to take a month off work, i'll be on temporary state disability, i'll get front row parking wherever i go...
sound like a fair trade?
haha

man that sucks... well about the surgery.
lately i've been hearing a weird grinding sound in my left knee when I go up stairs. it's not painful, but i'm sure it's not good.
enjoy your meds though

im already enjoying my meds, they prescribed them to me early.  but yeah, im excited for all of this, its long over due. =) i'll be focusing on my art mostly, & i have tons of friends to hang out with if i get bored. so i think this will be a really great thing.
if u think you need to see a doc, i'd say do it.

Physical therapy is a painful proccess at first(5X more so if you don't do it as prescribed), but trust me doing it is well worth it. By doing your pt your basically avoiding the build up of scar tissue by breaking it up slowly, your also stretching out all your tendons(they shrink up due to the down time). I have limited range of motion and constant pain for my ignorance. I don't want to scare you, the surgery will go fine, just make sure you do your pt and all will be good.
