BAD knees!

Last night after working out and another evening of painful knees, I decided I had to do something about this problem. I was outside talking to my neighbor Travis, and I was demonstrating something I had been doing earlier that day, when BAM! POP! OUCH! my right knee popped, it was painful, but I thought, "it's been worse" so after a little complaining, I decided I would go to the doctor today.

I took a pain killer before bed and ended up having the most disturbing dream. I woke up freaked out and couldn't get it out of my head, so I was up for about an hour trying to figure out how to get back to sleep. Logan woke up at 8:00....so that is what time my day began....Grrrr!

At about 10:30 Logan and I headed down to Galveston, I went to the Urgent Care office and had my knees checked. I was expecting the doctor to tell me that my arthritis had gotten worse, so I was shocked when she said the scariest word...SURGERY! It turns out that I have torn the medial meniscus in both of my knees. From what she can tell, my right knee is worse than my left. She told me to start wearing a knee brace and I have to take anti-inflamatory medication everyday for two weeks. Then I will have an MRI to determine how bad the tears are. Grrrr! I know that surgery is the last resort, but when she said that I would most likely be needing surgery in my right knee...well that is not what I wanted to hear, nor what I expected to hear.

I dont know what to do.....I dont want surgery, if I wanted to have surgery, I wouldn't be working out, I would go and have all the fat sucked out of my body and then have a tummy tuck, a boob lift, a nose job, and all the extra flab taken off my arms, thighs, calves, and butt! The point is, I dont want surgery, if I did, I would look amazing!
