bill_schubertI've finally decided that my knee is not going to get better on its own. And I'm not sure it is the pickleball or walking. We'll see. I repeatedly called the ortho practice that did hip, knee and shoulder but could never even get through to their scheduling. So I went to my normal med practice, Baylor, Scott and White and got a look/see appointment next Wednesday. Nothing nice will come of it, I suspect. What could happen: Everything looks fine, here's a PT referral. We see something wrong and need to fixit (AKA surgery). We need to replace the knee. You just need a brace. Here is the fitting room. Not sure what else. None of it fun.
But I hate getting in and out of the car. Hate standing up from a chair. It effects my life more than the knee did before the replacement. So I have to do something.
Fortunately, walking and pickleball (either of which could be contributing) don't bother me when I'm doing them. I do feel a little less stable sometimes when playing pb than I'd like but I'm no worse than most of the players I play with. Most of us are old and pinned together.
I do feel better for having some kind of forward movement, something proactive, regardless of the outcome.
Other than that, I'm dreading the coming cold front and generally have a bad attitude about it.
