knee injury, part fnord

[juldea]

Had my two-weeks-later follow-up with the orthopedist today. Yes, it's slightly better, but it's still mildly (1.5 on a scale of 10) painful all the time and not easy to walk around on. This was enough to concern the doctor - it's a really slow recovery! - and so, finally, I'm getting scheduled for an MRI. He's concerned there's a small, hard-to-find tear in a ligament somewhere that is causing the findable tendon inflammation. The MRI isn't scheduled yet, but it should be sometime around a week from now, and if I miraculously get better I can call in and cancel it.

Finally! I've only been injured for 5.5 weeks now. :P
