The Good: I had my follow-up appointment with the rheumatologist today. All of the blood work that was done in an attempt to discern the cause of my Baker's cyst came back negative. So, I'm not going to need treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, Lyme's disease, or a host of other illnesses anytime soon...I hope. And, my knee/leg continues to feel better and better everyday. Aside from a minor case of shin splints due to walking the hill course on the treadmill at a pretty good pace for an hour yesterday, I'm almost (dare I say it?) feeling normal. So the current POA is to keep on keeping on and hope that I make a full recovery.
The Bad: Because all of the tests and scans came back negative, the doctors have no clue what caused the cyst. That means that they can't give me any guidelines or framework on how to proceed from here on out so as to ensure that this won't happen again. I just need to "ease back into things" and check back in with the doc in 3 months.
The Ugly: Hurricane Ike. I know people that live directly in the "cone of uncertainty" (am I the only one who thinks that term is ridiculous?) in Texas. They are evacuating from the coast to go farther inland this evening. This storm looks nasty. Please keep them in your thoughts.
