Happy Hump Day All!!!
Today, I am exceptionally motivated. Its getting warmer outside, and I can do anything that I put my mind to.
Except anything that involves my lower body....
Yesterday, I was diagnosed with severe Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, which is caused by my knee cap slipping away from the joint. The Dr said that at some point in my life I dislocated my knee cap, and it never went all the way back. He was proud of my high tolerance of pain though, because he said that nobody goes as long as I did without seeking medical aide. Lol, I chalk this up to being stubborn, and not liking doctors all that much.
The treatment will be as follows: 4 weeks of Physical Therapy, with a surgery consult on May 7th. There is a 5% chance that the PT will work. There is a 95% chance they will have to cut me open. The surgeries range anywhere from cutting open the knee, shaving behind it so that it sits straight, to putting screws in my knee. The first option I will be back on my feet the same day, but I'll be extremely sore. The screws option will keep me in bed for a few weeks. I'm hoping for the 5%. I've come to far for anything to derail my progress, but I have to get fixed. I'm tired of being in pain.
Well, That's all for now! I hope everyone has a great week!
