Well, finally had an MRI last week to determine what is up with my right knee, and my doctor called yesterday to give me the news: small tear in the medial meniscus, a sprain in the medial collateral ligament (MCL), and a femoral bone bruise. Looking back, I’m almost positive it was from that fall on our stairs which I initially thought only hurt my back — but I twisted sideways as I landed and probably had my right leg planted.

Next will be a visit with an orthopedic doc to determine if I can just go do physical therapy rehab, or if I need surgery first. Knock on wood. From what I’ve read about it, I need to keep up the HI-RICE, do some exercise like walking and light cycling to keep up the healing blood flow, and just try to stay cognizant of how it’s feeling so I don’t overdo it and re-injure things.

Here’s a picture of the mother of all Wii accessories MRI machine, and then one of some unidentified internal portion of my knee, which may include an alien embryo.

The old archeologist just isn’t what he used to be. ;)
