well, crap

I was hoping once I got my neck fixed I would be good. 
Nope.

I had an MRI on my knee last week.
Twisted a while back and it just was not getting better.
I blamed it on being fat.
Nope again.
I have torn meniscus.
Or in English: torn cartilage.
Really? 
I see an orthopedic surgeon next Thursday. 
My friend said its and easy fix, but lots of PT after....
and of course a brand new $$$$ deductible starting on January 1.

Rosacea

My dermatologist diagnosed me with rosacea yesterday.
I pretty much figured I had it, I have ruddy red cheeks all the time. And acne that I can never seem to get under control. 
I guess I am a little too hard on my skin. 
Oops.

Anyone else have this?  any suggestions or insight.
I have a bathroom full of stuff that I probably shouldn't be using.
Oh well, my kids will get the acne stuff.
He wrote me a couple prescriptions for the acne part and suggested laser treatment for the broken blood vessels in my cheeks. 
Pretty pricey...I think I will stick to concealer.

MRI

I survived. 
I kinda figured I would ;)


Darn, no Steve. He has done my last 4 MRIs
Oh well.
I had forgotten just how loud and annoying that thing can be,
just counted the thunks and bangs until I lost count
then I started again.
And again.
ditto. 



I made a potty stop and got a diet coke at McDonald's on the way out of town.
Someone was watching over me.
I missed a fatal car accident by minutes   :(
(I am sad for the family, I knew Jerry, was a very nice man, quite a talker)


Today would have been my mom's birthday. 
She was my angel, telling me to "pee when you get a chance"




I have goosebumps now.
