Old Knee or Old Me?

I just came from my doctor. My left knee has been giving me a little trouble, so I decided to see him one last time. I was scheduled for a follow-up from the fall from 2 monthes ago. The other knee is doing fine, but I've been concerned about the one I broke a few years ago. Well, my doctor is optimistic and an upbeat kind of guy. I'm sitting there rehearsing what I'm going to tell him and ask him. I've already spoke with the nurse and gave her all the updated info concerning the knee.
When doc comes in we great each other. He's all smiles as he checks out the knee, I had to refresh his memory of the break and the surgery and so on. Poor guy, he sees so many patients , I know he can't keep track of everyone! So, here's the scoop: He tells me that even tho I don't look all that old, my knee is and with all that it's been through there is scar tissue and some arthiritis, so I will probably just have to get used to it. I am accepting of that and I don't want any more surgery, so I just got another perscription for an anti-inflammatory drug and was on my way. My biggest concern with the knee is how work aggravates the inflammation, so I'm glad I have time off now to help the healing process.
It's another gorgeous day and I have a friend coming over and we plan on finding a good place to have lunch. The dogs are out in the yard, barking their fool heads off, so I'll make this a short post................enjoy this wonderful day!
