No Arnold, it is a tumor! (8-23-08)
My big visit to the doctor Thursday was good and bad. The reason I went there (my injured knee) was good but then came other news, bad news. There is a lesion in my distal femur which basically means there is some abnormality at the base of my thigh bone right above my knee. I don't speak ER or House so I can't break it down better and I'd hate to use the T word, although I did in the title of this blog, but it could very well be.
I have a bone scan scheduled for Wednesday and then I can find out more. The good news is they took X-Rays yesterday and whatever it is in my leg hasn't grown or done anything since the last time I had X-rays done on my leg so they think whatever it is, that it's benign and that it's just something that's been there since birth, kind of a birth defect if you will. I hope they are right.
I'm trying to stay calm about it but my mind wanders and worries like it always does. They tell me it's "most likely nothing to worry about" but in my mind that's a far cry from "nothing to worry about". So yeah I'll be a nervous wreck in the short term until I learn something definitive despite the optimistic prognosis.

So sorry to hear about the complications..
A belated thanks for the set love on Violette!
