Random Thoughts

I went to see a doctor about my knee and elbow last Wednesday and the news was dismal.

I have limited movement on my left arm since May last year. I accidentally slipped in the tub while I was giving Jamie a bath and after several therapies and chiropractor sessions, it’s still not getting better.

As for my knee…well you see UP Quill had an event in Cubao X and Myka got herself drunk and we had to go there to pick them up. I drove her car while Jon was the one driving the crosswind. We had to change cars because I couldn’t drive Myka’s car properly and I guess since I was in a hurry, I wasn’t able to fix my seat properly. I was was too near the wheel and my left knee kept on hitting the dashboard. The next morning, I accidentally hit the bedpost with my left knee again. After that I just couldn’t bend it properly anymore and days after that, I started limping. What’s worst is that it looks really sore.

So anyway, I had them checked. They took a lot of x-rays on my knee and elbow — and I mean A LOT! They couldn’t find anything wrong with my bones which is really good. The doctor did another test and he said that it could be torn ligaments. He suggested that I get an MRI (which is around PhP 8,000 – PhP 8,800 each) for both my elbow and knee. What’s depressing is that if I do have torn ligaments, I will have to undergo an operation.

My mom and dad suggested that I have myself checked for gout too. What?? Gout?? Oh well, just to rule it our I guess.

In the meantime I’m just applying cold compress on my left knee. I’m keeping my fingers crossed..
