Needle to Get the Gimp Out

By:

Meant to have a blog post up and ready for all you Monday morning readers.  Fact is I have been having constant knee pain for the last 5 months.  In December my Dr. went in with a scope and cleaned up a tear in the meniscus.  I felt like a million bucks after that.  Chucker hills, slippery rivers, snow boarding here I come.  Reality is there is a considerable amount of arthritis in the joint as well.  Not a lot that can be done for that.

Short of it is the pain came back.  My Dr. suggested doing a series of 5 lubricating shots.  For me this translates to every Monday for 5 consecutive weeks I see my Dr. and pass out!

What I see before hyperventalating and passing out!

    Is that “The Artist” pushing that plunger?

    No its not. But I could have used the artist to hold my hand during the procedure.

    Wife had these shots, said it felt like a hot knife. I saw her birth 2 kids w/no drugs, no drama/crying/whimpering-nada! So I know when she says something hurts, it does. She’s a Viking!

    I got this shot off before I started hyperventilating. Once he pulled the needle out it was touch n go on whether I would pass out or not. Can’t wait for next Monday, shot #2 our of 5.
