Well today was an interesting day. I got the results of the mri of my knee, and while it confirmed one thing I was sure of, there was further news I didn't expect.
I am funny in that the littlest things may cause me to be upset, but if something serious happens, I'm cool (relatively) and go into survival or problem-solving mode (depending on the situation).
I found out I do have a meniscus tear, but also that there is a small pocket of fluid, with a small joint body floating in the fluid, the torn meniscus is also extruding, and I have severe arthritis around the patella, as well as present in all 3 compartments of the knee.
I've an apt. with an orthopedic doc, and hope to avoid surgery for now. I think no matter how much weight I lose, that a knee replacement is in my future..yet another reason to lose weight and be in better health overall.
I mean to lose these 200+ lbs. and this time, I am
not stopping at 3+ years and using a plateau and then slight weight gain as a reason to gain back the almost 75 lbs. I had lost
It was nice to see a slightly lower weight at my doctor's apt today, I have to lose about 14 more to be able to use my scales at home again.
Dinner tonight was cauliflied rice with asparagus added, brown cow maple yogurt, some raw almonds, coffee w/half and half.
