Or as I like to call it: The Never Ending Quest for Less Ouch
Music Man had a doctor's appointment yesterday. We are no longer seeing the cattle call that was Dr. E's office. We are now seeing a doctor I will call Dr. F.
I'm not really creative about names, I used E, for the first doctor cause his last name starts with an E. I'm using F for the new doctor cause his name starts with an F. Funny enough, Dr. F gave us a referral to go see his colleague, Dr. G, cause his name starts with a G. This is going to get really fun soon. Hoping for a referral to see a Dr. H in the city down my mountain. That would be too awesome.
Anyway, despite Facebook saying he was headed for surgery, he's not. Dr. F wants us to see Dr. G because Dr. G is a specialist in non-surgical treatments. So instead of another surgery, we're looking at some injections. Hopefully they will bring the swelling down and help relieve some of the pain.
On the down side, he will more than likely need at least two additional surgeries. He does have multiple tears in his meniscus on both sides, as well as debris the size of a marble. And some unexplained fluid. More than likely he'll wind up with a knee replacement at some point in time.
For now though, no surgery. Injections that sound painful, and a weight loss plan.
Oh yeah, we're getting serious about this now.
Okay, off to menu plan and look for places to schedule gym time.
Have a great week!
