mythicalgirl | Doctor Visits and Dead Laptops (Reply)

First visit with my new ortho this morning. Things went well. X-Rays, exam, MRI - there wasn't much left out. Except a diagnosis. The MRI results will be back in 2-3 days and I'll hopefully know what the problem is then. Right now the doc thinks it might be a torn meniscus. Maybe some ligament damage, maybe not. The patella (kneecap) is solid and moving like it is supposed to, which is good news.

So I'll know sometime next week if surgery is in my future.

The laptop situation is resolved and it is unfortunately not a happy ending. The new AC Adapter arrived - and had the exact same problem. Which means the problem isn't the adapter it's the laptop, most likely a short in the board. My choices are to send it to HP and see if they can fix it or salvage the hard drives and get a new computer. Since it is no longer under warranty its going to cost the same either way. Right now I'm leaning towards ordering a new PC (a desktop this time). I don't do hardcore gaming and I get a discount through work so I should be able to put one together pretty cheap.

That's two big things going on right now: the knee and the laptop. Don't these things usually come in threes?
