The Best I can Be

I took my sore right knee to the doctor today. She's afraid it's a torn meniscus.  I'm to limit my walking, keep wearing the brace,  take it easy and wait until Medicare ok's an MRI, so we can find out for sure.  Today was a dry & sunny day and I should have been out working in my yard.  This will drive me nuts.  I don't do "take it easy" very well. 

I may go to Curves and just do the machines that don't cause pain in my knee.   I'll just have to see........Linda

  I'm so sorry about your knee.  I hope if the MRI does show a tear, that it can be repaired easily.  Here's hoping you're pain free and able to "take it easy".  Take care!

  Ugghh...I've really screwed up my knee before.  It's not fun.
  Take care of yourself, sweetie.

  Painful huh. I have something going on with my left knee right now. I cannot extend it fully straight. I almost cry out in pain. I have trained myself to walk without the pain and keep on with my work out.
  Take care
