I saw my surgeon, Dr. Simonian today. As always, he is a great gentleman, caring and professional.
He presented me with two options regarding the inflammation and arthrofibrosis of my knee. His goal is mine: put me back where I was before my accident. Since there is a definite progress, he skipped the surgery and instead opted for a cortisone shot which should finish the job started with the medication he prescribed early May for five days.
He is not sure that it will be enough but considering the immediate relief I felt after I started the medicine, he believes it is worth giving the cortisone a try.
I should experience some soreness and icing the knee is key. Good thing I brought my icing machine with me today. Good thing that the weather is mild in the valley. The ice won't melt.
So I keep my fingers crossed and hope for a serious improvement in the next two to three days.
Meanwhile I am chilling at Starbucks before returning home after school pick up.
