I am still (impatiently) waiting for my appointment with the sports doctor tomorrow. How embarrassing is THAT going to be….it’s ridiculous to even say “sport” and me in the same sentence! Never the twain shall meet. I have spoken to his assistant and I already know he’s going to require an MRI. I hope it won’t take long to get that scheduled.
My knee actually felt somewhat better this morning!! I’m doing some infrared light treatments twice a day, keeping it elevated and trying to stay off it as much as possible. I am able to straighten the leg more than before without extreme pain, so that’s hopeful. It hurts quite a lot now, as we have moved and no matter how much I tried not to walk, there’s no way to accomplish packing up & moving without a good bit of it.
We’ve moved about 70 miles to the Ojibwa Casino in Marquette for a few days., if not forever! They have 7 nice FREE campsites with electricity, picnic tables, a little shade and even garbage cans!! Whip Hop!! Deb went in to register for her site (there was only one site available) and they told her she can stay as long as she wants. And they give you $15 in play vouchers, and they even have loaner wheelchairs!! They said it was OK for me to park in the same site so I backed in as close as I could to Deb’s camper was able to hook up to the 110v outlet. Wow…ELECTRICITY!! I can’t remember the last time I had that…..I guess back in early June when I was on the way up to Michigan? I’m so glad I don’t have to park out on the hot pavement. I’ve got the A/C cranked up and waiting for it to cool down in here. I love this place….we’re never leaving.
Sorry for no photos again. Maybe I can snap some of our campsite later on but right now I’ve got to be kind to my knee.
Thanks everyone for using my Amazon link to place your orders! I get a small percentage of sales if ordered through that. Even if you’re ordering an inexpensive item, it helps because the percentage is based on number of items sold. Your small item might help me get to another level! http://amzn.to/2c5csu8

I’m praying they get the MRI immediately. And praying you get some pain relief. So glad you now have a good free place to stay until you get things taken care of.

I’m glad your knee will be treated. Living with pain is very debilitating and leads to depression. Good luck, Janis.

Glad to hear that you had a little relief from the pain. Hopefully it won’t be as bad as you think, once the “sport’s” doctor sees you.
