A Meniscal Tear

That's tear as in ripped, not crying. My right knee has been hurting for several days and I've been limping a bit more each day. Frankly, I was quite relieved to just be able to spend the day at home today. After a visit to the doctor this afternoon, I may be sitting at home a bit more. The alternative to sitting at home is to go out on crutches. Not something I'm looking forward to.

A steroid shot in the knee today, some ice, rest and popcorn might make things all right. If I don't feel much better in two weeks, phase 2 kicks in. MRI and surgery. I anticipate feeling much better. And hopefully - quickly.
