I know this is the third entry, but a lot happened to me today.
About the MRI: called the dr office to get the scoop. Apparently my dr is out of town and will be available on April 1st. No, I cannot see another dr, THEY wouldnt know what was going on (implying that i have some kind of relationship with my current dr who would not be able to pick out my knee from a line up of midgets and horses).
So i called the nurse who by now hates me. If she were a waitress i would be sure to leave the diner before she spit in my food. She said that my films had a report of normal. When asked if the MRI would show scar tissue or cartilage damage, her response were:
1) Well, the report says everything is normal.
2) I'm not sure what the dr will want to do next.
3) I think so.
So what we do know is that the nurse does not know how definitive an MRI is and that once again i am receiving a lesson in patience.
