The weather outside yesterday was simply stifling. There is no other word to describe it: stifling. There was no way anyone could have gotten me running outside, so I headed again to the elliptical machine. I have a feeling I will be in that exercise room a lot this summer. At least they now have three TVs, so I can usually watch what I want to. Last night I watched the Astros, who started losing when I left. Poo.
I did go back to the doctor on Monday. I didn’t end up writing anything here because, fortunately, there wasn’t much to report! He looked at the MRI and my knee is just inflamed. The lump on my knee is just fluid and inflammation, and scoping it would do nothing to help. He offered to give me a cortisone shot and said that might break it up a little faster, but said I could also just wait it out. So I decided to wait it out. He said to come back in September or so if it’s still bothering me, and to continue wearing the brace to help take some of the pressure off the joint.
So, we shall see if it gets better! I guess it just needs time…
