Knee Update

I went to see the orthopedic surgeon today and he wants me to try some physical therapy first, to see if the ligament and other structures might tighten up on their own. He mentioned that it is hard to get an exact picture of the MPFL from the MRI, and that it appears torn but beyond that he couldn't be sure. Four weeks of physical therapy and a different brace for now, and we'll re-evaluate later. There appears to be at least a chance of avoiding surgery, so that seems to be positive news.

In other news, from the shameless promotion department, happy birthday to me! :-) Pics of birthday fun as well as my trip to Portland will probably go up tonight.
