Well the knee update is not good news.
They extracted a large amount of fluid on Tuesday (apparantly anything over 20mls is quite bad, the highest he's ever had is 100, and I had 85), and gave me a steroid injection.
By the evening it had swelled up to exactly as bad as it was before and has remained that way ever since, with varying amounts of pain to accompany it. Stairs are still pretty much impossible.
So I'm seeing him again next week, but of course that was the date the initial surgery was planned for, and now isn't.
I really wish I'd just insisted on having the damn arthroscopy now... I don't expect there'll be time to get one and and recover from it before Vegas, which basically means my choices are:
1 - Have a really crappy time, barely able to walk and hobbling about with a stick or crutches in 40-degree heat.
2 - Cancel and hope I get some money back.
I guess I'll see what he says on Tuesday, but it's really got me down
