The Knee Has To See A Doctor

After several months of slowly getting better my knee, overworked from mowing the lawn, seems to have given up.  I can still walk on it providing I wear a brace.  The compression brace works well enough some days but others the knee has been so unstable I've had to do the stabilizer brace. 

This is officially NOT FUN!  I have an appointment tomorrow with a new ortho and I will be getting an MRI done this time.  I want to know what's going on inside this stupid thing and get it fixed, finally.  Of course now that I've made the appointment with the doc today the knee is much more stable and isn't aching as much.  Figures.  I think it knows I'm getting it looked at tomorrow and is on it's best behavior.

I'm also waiting for a guy to call me back with an estimate for taking care of my yard.  Just mowing and trimming until I know if I need surgery.  If I have to get cut up I may have to have him do more.  Or get a landscaper. 

This sucks.....
