Knee Saga





I went in to the X-Ray Store last Thursday and had my knee shot up with iodine. This allowed them to take many pictures of my knee and see what's going on. I had no trouble other than having the knee chip move around on me all day. It never hurt but the fluid they injected in my knee hung around a good portion of the day and I had to keep moving the chip around.


I visited with the Orthopaedic Guy yesterday and got this groovy picture of my leg. I thought I had one bone chip floating around in there. It appears I have two. They are depicted by the little tag box next to each piece.

Now the question is whether to do this surgery and remove it and when to do it. I was thinking of postponing it until the first of the year, but that would mean starting all over with my deductible payment. Perhaps that is not a smart move.

I'll think about it and then decide after Susan tells me what to do.
