Degenerative Arthritis

1/13/2012

Here it is Friday the 13th I am sure nothing else could go wrong today since the bad news of yesterday.  So Mickey went in for her knee scope and it was not good news.  Dr. said she was a strong woman to have gone thru as much pain with her knee considering it was one of the worst he had seen coming into the office.  So it was cleaned out because of large quantities of cartilage roaming around.  He will be able to prolong a full knee replacement for at least two years.  Perhaps 4 weeks at most for total recovery but should be able to check on pedal power after recheck next wednesday.  Brandon has purchased a new bike and before my surgery he has been able to put a least 25 miles on it, feels great and now looking for mine to purchase next month.  The process of getting ready for trip continues!  :)

The New Years Resolution Begins!!

So here it is the beginning of the new year and we are getting prepared  for our Pacific Coast Trail Ride.  Right now coming out of the gate, Mickey will need some Knee scope next thursday because she has a problem with her knee bending.  Brandon on the other hand is starting off well with trying to get another cortison shot because his back has been killing him for the last few days  before the new year even began.  Both of us are claiming we will be leaving in July with or without the other.... off to a great start!!  Found a Bike for him at a great price, since surgery is in her near future dont need to worry about her bike yet.  HAHA he laughs.
