Priorities

[perzephone]

Too many things are happening tomorrow:

1) School starts. Have to go pick up my books. On the first day of school. Blegh.

2) My MRI results are in. No more tear, but I've got some kind of 'degenerative bone disease' going on. The doc wants to start me on a regimen of 'shots that may help' the pain & swelling of my left knee, but it's my mostly untroublesome right knee that may require surgery. I've got an appointment at 10:45am tomorrow. On the same day that school starts & I have to go pick up books, AAAANNNDDD...

3) The Burning Crusade expansion comes out. 

Motherfucker. At least I'm still on vacation.

*hugs* regarding the knee pain and treatment.

Also, be very very certain you know what you're getting yourself into with surgery. My 'untroublesome' (in terms of pain) left knee required surgery, and because of mistakes during the surgery I'm left now with permanent pain that cannot be corrected or alleviated at this stage. I walked into that surgery able to walk without pain. It was just unstable and dislocated frequently.

I walked out of that surgery eventually achieving full range of motion (which I already have) and having permanent complications. I now can do even less than I could before.

So don't rush into it. Knee surgery is risky business. If you're not in pain with that knee now, or it's fairly stable, wait until it's absolutely necessary, imho.
