OK here is the good the bad and the ugly of what I have been going through.

I had an appointment on Tuesday the 23rd. In the morning I was getting ready to go to an SEOP at my daughter school I was all ready and didn't want to click my heels on the hard wood floors so I turned to tip toe into the other room and there was a definate pop and soooo much pain. My knee had not been doing great but this really didn't help. At the doctors appointment that night he told me I have torn my miniscus, so a cortazone injection will not help this. He told me it will not heal on it's own so I need to see an othopedic surgen.

The guy that I go get body work done by also works on all the ellite athletes at WEber State Univercity, a few are trying to qualify for the olympics. Any I called to cancel an appointment that I had with him and he told me the name of the surgen that has worked on the ellite runners knee. I have an appointment with him Monday morning.

So long story is that I will get fixed and I will run again, but it is going to be a longer journey then I had originally anticipaited. After many tears I have resolved that I will get through this and everthing will be fine.

Sorry I have not blogged in a while. After the insident with my knee, I didn't try the elliptical for two days, and only got three in today, it's still a bit tender. Then we have been having some computer issues at home. I will try to keep you posted on what is going on. It would be nice to hear of other people have gone through this surgery and had succuess.

Thanks!

Good luck with your knee issues.

Dang it. But a diagnosis is good because now you know what to do about it.

Ditto to Carolyn's comment - but still. I'm SO sorry, what a stinky situation! You'll have to let us know a time line of how long they think it will be until you're back.

Just catching up with you here. Sorry about needing the surgery, but really happy that you at least have an answer for the knee pain! At least it is fixable, and it sounds like you have the right people to do it. I wish you a lot of luck in your recovery, and I know you will come back stronger than ever.
