I suppose I should do an update on my knee. It is a somewhat depressing subject for me, so I have been avoiding it.
It has been getting better, but for the past few weeks it hasn’t been improving much.
Last week I went to see an actual doctor about it. She chewed me out for not seeing her earlier. (My physical therapist did say that they would have likely just prescribed six weeks of physical therapy. Maybe I’m not that bad.) She agreed it was a meniscus tear. She wants me to get an MRI.
I got an X-Ray on Friday to prepare for it. It didn’t reveal anything, so I’m good to go for the MRI. However, the appointment I was given was in the middle of May.
But in Alberta we have a two-tiered health system. So I can pay for an MRI out of pocket and go earlier. Hopefully my recovery will then go faster. I do not like the idea of supporting the two-tier system, but you go to battle with the health system you have, not the health system you want.
I could have gone tomorrow for the MRI, but I’m going to wait until Tuesday.
I’m losing hope of doing the Death Race.
