Still motoring on one good wheel.
Seems I'm caught between an orthopedic surgeon and an osteoarthritis specialist.
One seems to think a brace might help to prop me up, the other wants to go the drug route with something to build up my knee bone.
When I asked about my meniscus tear, both doctors seem to agree that it would take care of itself in time.
As one of the doctors said, " Listen. Everyone on the high side of 60 has a meniscus tear somewhere in their body. Your main problem is some crumbling bone within your knee."
Yikes!
Maybe I should start drinking milk once again, maybe take more vitamin D supplements, maybe eat some sardines. I love sardines.
And maybe I need to Google some knee strengthening exercises. For some reason, the good doctors have left me to figure out the maybes by myself.
But the one thing seems certain, my jogging days appear to be over.
Indeed, I've had a good run. And now, probably my last.
