The results are in, but…

The specialist said on Monday that the MRI results would be ready in 2-3 business days. The radiologist at the clinic didn’t look at them until Thursday evening, which is probably why I didn’t get a phone call about the results until I called them on Friday afternoon. By the time I finally talked to one of their nurses on the phone, it was too late in the day (and thus too late in the week unless the front desk is open on Saturday) to take the next step: set up an appointment with the orthopedist.

Turns out I still don’t know what the problem is. The scan shows that the ACL graft was fine and there isn’t a Baker’s cyst. It looks like the meniscus in my knee is swollen, but the doc doesn’t know why. I’d say we’re back to Square 1, but since we know two things that aren’t the problem, I’ll say we’re at Square 1A. That’s not very comforting. So now I have to sit back and wait until next week at the earliest to get some idea of what’s wrong and how to make it right again. I’m generally okay with waiting, but this is getting ridiculous.
