Urgent Care

My right knee has been painful and I decided it should be looked at.  So, Terry and I went over to our local Urgent Care facility.

I was thinking- fluid on the knee, which I had experienced a number of years ago.

However, not that simple,  the doctor said a possible torn meniscus.  After a wait, I was seen by the doctor, received a diagnosis, a shot in the butt for pain and given two prescriptions.

When we left the facility we were famished.  We went to Bonefish for lunch.  They are experimenting with being open for lunch.  Hope they are experimenting at home too. My bang-bang shrimp and corn chowder soup were yummy.  Terry had cocoanut shrimp and a salad.

Walmart, near the house, would not have either prescription until Tuesday.  Walmart on 441/27 did have one prescription,the steroid, which I am to take for 12 days.

Walgreens has the Celebrex, I ordered it and went to pick it up and they were closed.

So, tomorrow we will start both medications.

In two weeks if not better the doctor recommends an MRI.  Surgery, if MRI indicates it has not healed on its own.

I'll wait until I'm home for all of that.

Wear tie shoes - so much for my pretty sandals for the next few weeks.

We are reading after a full medical day.

Nurse Terry is taking good care of me and kids have been in touch.
