TAN #64 - A Case of Temporary InTANity (Page 8)

Slake has the most ginormous pugs I've ever seen. They are adorable.

Will read.

So, can some ITB stretching and/or therapy help?

Just read it. Wow, I guess that's kinda good, in some ways. You may not need surgery after all. Hopefully, the exercises for the ITB will help the situation.

I asked for a set of plans to be plotted BEFORE lunch so I could go to the gym, then straight to my appointment.  They are not ready so it cuts into Ye Olde Gym time.

I'm really disapointed with everyone around me today.

He loves having his picture taken

Nunzio is a sweet boy

On the other hand, I just want an answer!  He seems pretty committed to help me figure it out though. 

That's the hope.  I got more cortisone (incuding into the ITB - OUCH!!) and anti-inflammatories, so between all that it should help.  If not, he's considering surgery to figure out what's going on inside the knee because he can't really see anything on the film 

So, did the shot hurt?  Sounds like it would.

ETA: (answered above)

He's super cute.  I love the costume. 

Oh yeah.  The last time I got a cortisone shot it hurt for two days before it started to feel better.  I don't foresee this being better. 

I lof avacados.  Mayo and anchovies, not so much.

Did I kill it?

Yum. I am unsure of my Superbowl plans at the moment.

I am scarfing down a sandwich like I've never eaten before - had no free appendage to type with.

What's the swedish meatball secret?

I always have the party (for at least the last 3-4 years).  Wifey works it.  Other than New Year's eve, it's the highest paid day of the year.

She get's sick amounts of cash to just 'decorate' a casino superbowl party and socialize.  Oh yeah, sometimes they have to do a half time dance number...

Hey TAN. Went to the doctor this morning.

The short version of my doctor's appointment is that I have a combination of problems with my ITB and kneecap that are causing pain. At this point, I don't need surgery, but depending on how I respond, they may need to do something arthroscopically later.

Longer version is in my blog.

Wow Artemis that sucks. But at least now you have a clue as to what it is and how to fix it.

Yeah.  I am happy that I am not having surgery (at least for now). 

None, really.  Maybe the sour cream.

It's mix of cream of mush soup, packet of lipton's onion soup (you know, the dried kind), sour cream, some worstishire sauce (I know I butchered the spelling of that).  I forget the amounts.  All of that over frozen meatballs and stewed for a couple hours/half day in a crock pot.

I like to serve with a french loaf, sliced on the bias, of course.
