there's good knee news and bad knee news.

in the good knee news category, no surgery this summer. not even a bit.

in the bad knee news category, he doesn't want to do a synovectomy on me because my knee is too screwed up for it to have a good chance of helping. in addition, he thinks that i probably have osteoarthritis as well as the rheumatoid, which i already knew i had. last but not least, he says that he'd probably be willing to replace the knee any time i want.

i don't want yet. i go down stairs funny, when i go up stairs and am flaring, i go up them funny, i have a handicapped tag and use it, and i don't do a lot of walking. but i'm pretty much used to it. so, not yet.
