View ROCHELLE09's food & exercise for this day
Well, I'm not sure if the news from the dr. was good or not. The good part is, he didn't just say to stop any activity that makes my knee hurt (like the last doctor). But the not so good news is that I'm having another knee surgery in a few weeks. I guess I kind of knew another surgery was the only likely option, so I'm glad he's willing to see if he can find whats wrong. I asked about the meniscus transplant and he said they haven't seen very good results with it, but if he gets into my knee and thinks it would be worth a try he'll find a surgeon who can do it. Hopefully though, it just needs a little cleaning up on the inside. The good news was, there's no sign of arthritis yet, which I was worried about.
My dietitian appointment today didn't go as well as I would have liked it to. She said if I don't get my act together by the next time I see her she's going to recommend my parents get a conservatorship over me, or I move into an assisted living. I knew I wasn't totally following the meal plan, but I didn't think it was that bad. I guess it's time to get my butt in gear and start eating more, or down the bottles of ensure I have in the fridge.

Sounds like good news about the knee.
:love:
I am sorry about your dietitian appointment. I know it must be hard for you to follow the guidelines but just know it is for the best and that she cares about you - like we all do. Hang in there.

We both seem to be battling for our lives right now, just in opposite directions. I wish you well and the calm that you need to love and take care of yourself.
