Dang, it has been over a month since I posted last! The pain I was having got to me, and I ended up wanting to take some time off. Then my husband returned to work and I was with the kids 24/7 and that made it harder to do anything.
The good news is, my leg is feeling better and both kids are now in school! It was so nice to go to the gym on Tuesday and Thursday. It's nice to have time for ME again!!!
I had my 6 month follow-up with my orthopedic surgeon. Actually, it is with the surgeon who assisted as my surgeon transferred. This guy did my husband's surgery as well and seems very nice and very competent. I told him how I was running virtually pain free. However, I still have that nagging pain behind my knee that only bothers me on full extension and full flexion. He said he doesn't think it is a meniscal tear, but can't say for sure. He is leaning more towards it being scar tissue. He said it is not normal to be having that much pain, 6 months out, so he ordered another MRI. I am guessing it will be a month before I get the scan and another couple weeks before I get the results. I pray the MRI shows what is wrong, and I hope it can be fixed without surgery.
So, that is my not so exciting update.

Remember that Staples commercial, "its the most wonderful time of the year!" It truly is wonderful when the kids are back in school. I am glad you are finding some time for yourself again. I hope that the MRI turns out to be nothing and you dont have to have surgery. Hang in there!
Isn't it wonderful and great to have just time for yourself w/out worrying about anyone else even if its just a few minutes or hours or whatever time will give you! Hope you enjoy it.
