After a week of no exercise (very foreign to me), arnica, Tylenol, ice, heat, compression bandage and elevation, I cautiously did a test this morning: a full squat, so that the backs of my thighs rested on my calves. The result: agony.

Ok, ok. It's not getting better on its own. I'm seeing the doctor at 3:15 today. They'll take some X-rays and then we'll see.

I really hope I won't have to have surgery.

What I did yesterday to help make the world a better place:

Attended a meeting for the Mexican mission trip. I also heard another person signed up with Kiva on my referral.

Exactly. Which is why I'm having it checked out.

Good, because I know how I worry about outcomes of medical check ups. Fingers crossed it's just muscular and can be sorted out with physical therapy. You'll be far better about doing it than I ever have been.

I strongly suspect that it's the ligament, unfortunately, and it might be quite a long, slow road to recovery.
