Shoot me up

Today, in the ongoing knee saga, I got a shot of cortisone to the knee. After months of physical therapy, icing and taping it wasn't getting any better so we took the next step. In many ways it reminded me a lot of getting an amniocentesis (minus the faint husband). They numbed the exterior of the knee, ultra sounded it as the doctor stuck a, larger than expected, needle straight in. It didn't hurt as much as I expected, but it's definitely tender now. I really hope this helps calm things down enough so it can heal. I want to exercise in the worst way (not to mention walk down a set of stairs with out feeling like a gimp). Keep your fingers crossed for me!
