Ok so in the last post I mentioned that my PT was on hold because of the fluid in my thigh. Well actually it was fluid in my thigh and well I guess you’d call it pelvis. Went back to the doctor last week to see about starting PT again and just how the fluid has been in the past month. The body should be absorbing it, but instead the area is actually getting bigger and harder. The top of the “hard” area is even with my belly button (which makes wearing pants VERY uncomfortable) and very hard. It spreads from my hip to about my belly button again, though not all of that is hard some of it’s firm but squishy, and everything in that area hurts badly enough that my pain meds aren’t touching it. The good news is the pain in my thigh is less though so it’s like an even exchange.

ANYWHO, to make a long story longer, I don’t think the surgeon knows for sure what it is. The MRI looks like fluid, however since it is getting bigger and is soooo hard, we are doing a biopsy on Thursday Feb 12th in the morning “for everyone’s peace of mind” (quote from my surgeon). While he’s doing the biopsy, he’ll drain anything that actually is just fluid, so I’m hoping he’ll drain it all and we’ll continue happily on our way with PT. So anywho, please pray for a clean biopsy (good actual experience under the anesthesia as well as negative biopsy results–negative for cancer not negative as in bad results).

That’s about the update right now. Working on my thesis proposal (met with my advisor who liked my topic so now I just need a formal proposal for the department). Otherwise that’s about it. I’m pretty ready to be pain free and start PT back up again. I’m back to not being able to move my knee much at all and I’d really like that to be fixed.

Hope all is well with everyone! Love to all! Peace Out!
