Knee Update

  • Kevin went to the doctor today for what was originally supposed to be a 2-week follow up. The doctor drained Kevin's knee and said this happens in about 1 of 50 patients. Kevin's knee just doesn't want to be messed with. He is stuck on the couch still with it elevated and iced until Monday afternoon when he goes back. He has to stop doing the exercises he has been trying to do and walk only when necessary and only using the crutches. What a great way to spend his birthday weekend.
    I think the reason Kevin and I met and are meant to be are as follows:
  • Kevin has "routine" knee surgery that should have him back on his feet and working after a long weekend. He is going on two weeks now.
  • I tore my leg muscle last year and while most of the world tears the muscle either away from the knee or the hip and can have surgery and be up and about in a week, I tore my whole muscle right down the middle from the knee to the hip and was laid up for two months before I could even start physical therapy.

We are freaks meant to take care of each other!

Krista was over this week and commented on how we had a worn out spot on our couch from both of us being stuck laying there. Not that you could actually see it because Kevin is still laying there!
