Dude this is sweet! My dad is expecting me to put an update on my knee injury, so here it is. I hurt it on January 27, which was the day of our state dance competition. I walked on it for about a week until it got so bad that I couldn’t walk on it anymore. We went to the doctor for an MRI about two weeks later. We found out i tore my Meniscus… and I think I spelled that wrong. It’s basically the padding between my leg bones and my knee cap. I was on crutches and with a brace up until the 3rd week of March, then I was walking without crutches but with the brace Since Thursday this last week, the end of March, I’m walking without my brace too, and I’m doing fine. I still have a little bit of physical therapy, but I’m basically done.
But it still hurts, especially when I’m on it a lot or when I go up and down stairs. ;~(
I spoke to the physical therapist today and the long-term prognisis for Melanie is just fine. He thinks she’ll experience minor pain and some limitations on her actions for the next few months. But the discomfort should continue to lessen with time and with strengthening exercises.
That last part about my knee hurting when i do some stuff….well i didnt write that…..i think my dad did just to make me look stupid…
