Haven't heard from her in the past few weeks. I will send her a PM and email if I don't receive a reply. Hope all is well!
I'm hoping she's on vacation or something because Mikey is out of school for the summer. Thanks, Morgan!
Present! I was just logging to see if we've got a story for tonight and saw this. I'm good. Better than ever. I keep trying to post and even PM some to talk about what went down here, but it's depressing and I don't want to drag anyone down or trigger something in someone. All is well with my world and I am embracing the peace in that, appreciating the fragility of all things and enjoying the now.
We've had two car incidents to tend to - no one was injured - thanks be to God - but you know the drill, insurance, rental cars, settlements BLEH - tied up my down time for a couple of weeks. But I'll take it -minor inconvenience all is well .
And then the Ogre whisked me off for a week in the woods - we we were gone all last week. Just us in a cabin near a state park (Fall Creek Falls) - left the kids to mind themselves. We were mostly secluded - it was wonderful, the best vacation I think I've ever had. We hiked 4 or 5 hours a day. Slept in, had coffee watching the birds, cooked over a campfire every night, never paid attention to the time. We saw waterfalls and caverns and sometimes felt like we were on a different planet. Came back feeling 10 years younger and stress free - it's amazing how healing that trip was. We almost cancelled it because I was so worried about leaving the kids, but I'm glad we didn't. About two hours on the road, I think I forgot I even had kids
. I'm spilling it all here because I just saw that Moderator Marsha is going to see her granddaughter's recital (that is going to be sooo cute - safe travels! have fun!) and we're closing early. Glad I caught you. I'll get caught up during the downtime and try to make it over to the Territories.Dang - I gotta go - it's closing time
Much love to all!

Thanks for the good travel wishes.
fljoe0 -- concerns as been missing almost a week. Had the knee issues and waiting on MRI. Sending out positive vibes. Ck in when you can!
Went in last Thursday to review MRI with doc and guess what? I do not have a torn meniscus. My knee looked good on the MRI. The doc was really stunned as he was fairly certain I had a torn meniscus. I'm not really sure what caused this issue but the doc sent fluid to the lab to see if maybe this was gout. I haven't got the results yet. If it is gout, it was a very odd case because I was missing some key symptoms like the constant throbbing pain. I had an episode of gout in my foot about 15-20 years ago and I mentioned this to both doctors but they did not think that's what it was. The first doctor gave me a prescription for indomethacin just in case and I took it for 4 or 5 days at the beginning of this and it did absolutely no good so I stopped taking it. Thursday, I got a cortisone shot and went back on the indomehtacin. The knee is feeling very good now (still a little limited in flexibility) and I'm walking without crutches. I have an appointment Friday. So right now, I'm not sure what was going on but I'm getting closer to normal again. Almost 3 weeks passed from when this started to when I had the MRI (Of course, I hobbled around for 4 or 5 days before I went to the doctor then it took two weeks to get MRI approved) and I was improving by the time I had the MRI. Having the MRI two weeks earlier probably would have helped a lot but that's not the way things work. Whatever it was, I was off my feet for nearly 3 weeks. It's nice to be walking again.

Well thank goodness you are not trapped in your reclining chair that plugs in!
Did you ever find out if it has a back up battery or not? I was thinking of you when I was pushing the button on mine and wondering how you're doing - glad to hear things are improving
I haven't crawled under the chair yet to look for a battery backup. I might be able to now but the past couple of weeks, if I would have got on the floor to look under the chair, I wouldn't have been able to get back up.Well thank goodness you are not trapped in your reclining chair that plugs in!

Please take care and may this be resolved quickly. Healing vibes.
Agree!!!The word quickly doesn't appear in the Blue Cross manual.
....welllll, that buffaloes me too!......maybe some type of bursa sac inflammation, which I believe would show in the fluid....The word quickly doesn't appear in the Blue Cross manual.
I didn't have that redness either.
I walk 3 miles almost every night (except for the past month
) and have for years. If I had some kind of injury, it seems I would have noticed something while walking. Even gout gives people some warning.The morning of the day I started having trouble, I was perfectly fine. I took a shower and got ready for work and all was good. As I was leaving, I needed to unplug something under my desk before I left and I stooped down to unplug it. When I did, I felt a sharp pain behind my knee cap. I stood back up and the pain went away after 20 or 30 seconds and I went on with my day. I was being kind of careful that day because that pain worried me a little but I was fine during the day. That evening was when the knee started giving me trouble and the next day, I could barely walk.
.....I'm just lost, only other thing I can think of is a Baker's Cyst....I didn't have that redness either.

There was almost 3 weeks from my problem starting to when I had an MRI. Maybe whatever caused this disappeared in that time.
On the plus side, my knee looked great in the MRI and xrays.
The doctor drained 110 cc of fluid out of my knee the first time and 30cc after my MRI so I guess that means things were improving.
