Glad to hear it isn't something major and they have a plan on treatment. Hopefully the shot works and then no need for removal. Swimming is so good.. I need to get over my bathing suit fears and just do it. Maybe next month. I'm down just over 30lbs now and fitting into smaller sizes. I've had no joint pain with exercise which has been nice.. I'm also not working out as hard though. I'm now doing gym every other day and just some minor walks on the opposite days. Seems to be a good balance for me right now.

Hi guys! Well, even as tired as I was, even had a headache...I forced myself to go work out. Upper body, don't want to irritate the knee any more than it is...and it was great. Got a good sweat going and felt awesome afterward. Here goes: Speed benching w/u with 45# 3 sets of 6 55# 8 sets of 3 reps with speed baby! DB flat bench press 20# x 6 25# x 6 30# x 6 35# x 6 40# x 3 Overhead BB presses 45# x 6 55# x 6 65# x 5 Diesel Shrugs 20# 3 sets of 15 New PR Bar push ups 10/10/9 New PR Overhead tricep extensions 15# 3 sets of 6 New PR Dips on flat bench 7/9/10 New PR DB Curls Arnold Style ~ New exercise for me 15# (each arm) 12/6/5 Abs decline bench reverse crunches 3 sets to max reps Then I got in the pool for about 30 minutes, did some laps, worked out my legs in the water, got my heart rate up pretty good swimming around, then chilled...then I got chilled and got out! NICE! I feel pretty good, and now it's time for I B See ya! Val

I hope they fix it! Well you know they will never admit another doc made a mistake...heaven forbid huh? Wish her my best. Sure you can play in my pool anytime! Hugs, Val

Val, sorry to hear about your knee. Hopefully the contrast will let you know something! My mom is having lap surgery on her knee on the 15th. The doc is fixing what(I believe) the other doc screwed up. But he won't say that.....of course not! Anyhow, I hope you will be up and running soon! Tammy PS.....can I come and play in your pool??????

Hi guys. Well, the knee saga continues. I had an MRI yesterday (that was about as fun as I don't know what) and was planning on a follow up with my hunky sports doc Weds. I even looked for my report today...nothing. Which was weird because it's all digital in the system fairly quickly. Well, I get a phone call today from the radiology department. I guess the Radiologist saw something he really didn't like on my the front of my knee, he isn't really sure exactly what it is, so he wants a contrast study done. UGH! So, tonight I went over and had another MRI this time with contrast. I hope they can figure out what it is. I know the Sports med doc said he thought there was a bone fragment or something in the front there. I think the contrast was to illuminate blood flow and soft tissue. ??? I am no radiology expert at all. So, I guess I will find out more tomorrow. In the meantime, I didn't get my workout in tonight because they scheduled my MRI for 7pm. Didn't get home from wor****il 5:30, had to change and drop my daughter off at her "sweetie's" baseball game, the back to OSU. Plus I didn't get one in last night because I literally didn't get home until 9:00pm. I left at 8 that morning. Today I have been up since 5:45...I am whooped...BUT..... I did get in the pool for the first time this summer!! aaaaaahhhh a warm 88 degrees. almost like a No kids...put Seals and Croft in the cd player, did some laps, got my heart rate up, did some resistance training for legs and arms, and then just chilled. It was the most relaxing hour I have had all week. I even beat Earl in the pool. It's been in the 90's here for the past few days...I am LOVIN' IT!!! See ya! Val PS thanks for listening to me whine...
