You remember the thing about the knee I posted yesterday? With the only problem being overstretched ligaments and capsules? And the yaying on it?
I might have been too fast with that. I just had a call from the surgeon who told me that the MRT practice apparently had another look at the MRT pictures again and decided that yeah, the meniscus is okay but hey... looks like the cruciate ligament is ruptured. Dear, doctors... THIS IS NOT FUNNY GODDAMMIT! So now I have to see the surgeon on Tuesday again so they can measure for a new splint. On the phone the surgeon said that the development of my symptons speaks against a rupture and for the overstretching but they want to be careful so I'll get one of those splints with joint for like... two months or something and they'll do another MRT. When I'm symptom free by that time and the MRT says everything's okay (or is as fuzzy as it was now... apparently, that stuff isn't REALLY reliable) everything will be okay. If not... arthroscopy. Yay. Or... not. Anyway, gotta go for my birthday present from
schnelmi and
heitidei.

Date: 2010-05-23 04:08 pm (UTC)But I get that you've been busy so that's okay (you are allowed to have a life young lady. I mean we went what??? a couple weeks barely talking when I was working 14 hour nights?)
As for the knee its kind of reminiscent of when I had my kidney stone. I went to the ER they put me through a CT scan said "Oh nope, you don't have anything wrong with you, good luck with that excruciating pain!" and sent me home. Then in the morning reexamined my CT scan and called me up and were all "Ooops. Looks like you got a kidney stone, good luck with that!"

Yep, kinda sounds like that. You'd really think professionals like that would be able to see such things on first glance... ;)

Kick them hard in the kneecap for me, please.
The surgeons or the MRI people? ;) Because, seriously, how can they overlook something like a ruptured ligament the first time (the MRI people, that is... the surgeons can't even look at the MRI pictures for some reason)?
