So who the heck reads this stuff? Does anyone care but me. I guess it is like a private diary? Of course, my mama told me never to write anything down I wouldn't want published in the newspaper. It's good advice that has served me well over the years, so, I wouldn't count on anything too controversial in this blogspot.
As I covered last time I am anti-drama anyway... so... I suppose I'll blog about my tennis game or the latest crochet project. I do intend to document them here. Maybe even I'll find this interesting in 20 years. By that time not only will my short term memory be gone (it's not too swift now) but my long term memory will be shot as well and I'll enjoy reading these meaningless ramblings as an old woman who can't remember where she put her teeth.
So, my tennis game sucks. But that doesn't really seem to bother me. I just want to play. You would think as important to me as it is to play and as often as I play (I try for 3 times a week, but it's not really working out) I would be pretty good. Right? Well... think again.
I had knee surgery 05/05/05 - ACL reconstruction on my left knee and I have had pain ever since. The surgeon is sooooooo proud of his good work. I'm like, "dude! I hurt! Every day! What's up with that?"
The last straw was a couple of weeks ago. I played a singles match with a woman who had the same surgery about the same time... of course she beat me... her knee feels fine. She plays 3 times a week (daytime tennis player - a whole other blog topic) and when I asked her who her surgeon was she said it was my guy!! What are the odds of that? When I told the surgeon this story... and that I was in terrible pain for 2 days after that match.. he asked, "who won?" I could have decked him. I calmly said, " of course she won... SHE'S NOT IN ANY PAIN!
It turns out, there's a little plastic screw sticking up out of my knee, "I guess we could have turned it a time or two more," the surgeon admitted. It's causing inflamation and bursitis. As if to make me feel better, the surgeon also informed me that if I weren't so active, I'd probably never know that screw was there. It's biodegradeable you know.
The bottom line is, they can fix it with another minor surgery, open up the old scar and grind down that screw. I told the surgeon if he can get it done by the end of the year, I would consider it because I've certainly met my insurance deductable. I can't believe I'm considering it. Friday, December 28th I'm scheduled to have my 4th surgery this year. sheeeeeesh!
I hope I turn into a 4.0 player after that... or at least feel like one.
Later!
