After coffee and our monthly HOA meeting, Dave took me to a doctor. After waiting for about 45 minutes, I was taken to xray. I do not have a torn meniscus at this time...just a lot of inflammation and arthritis. Rest, ice, compression and drugs! He put me on an anti-inflammatory plus prednisone and thought that would take care of it! I hope so!
I got a call from Cindy from Ames tonight with sad news. My other neighbor, Linda Knecht, is in Hospice and hasn't had any food or drink for over a week. Cindy doubted that she'd make it through the night. She's been sick for a long, long time with Scleroderma, an auto-immune disease that is destroying her from the inside out for many, many years...probably over 25 years. At least she's not suffering right now.
More later...
