Update!

    I had the echograph today in Antibes…I have water on the knee and water under the knee…in the form of a cyst…but there are so rips, tears lesions, arthritis or anything else….just fluids. I have to do some research…I will soon be an expert on it.

I popped into  see my GP and she wants me to see a doctor to take out the water…I made the RDV for that for Thursday. It is in Juan Les Pins and in an easy place for me to access…so I see a big needle in my future. I was told to stay off the leg…no PT…it is not easy to get around.

I needed to find a close parking spot to my drs. office. That’s not easy in Antibes. I went around the block a few times. There was a handicapped spot in the front. …am I handicapped? Just temporarily…I didn’t want to take the space away from an older person that needed it. I pulled in and considered what to do…A man, in the car in front of me, told me that he would be leaving in “7” minutes if I could just wait…he had to run up and get some vegetables…OK…no problem, I will wait. 

This would never happen in the US…a 40 something man going out of his way to buy vegetables? Am I wrong?

I had to call the needle doctor to make the RDV which I did from the car. The receptionist asked me to read what my GP had written on the prescription…She had a good laugh but it was a friendly thing. My GP hand wrote it…so imagine me in the car trying to pronounce medical terms in French while trying to decipher her hand writing. 

Anyway...this is something I can work with! No damage. There are numerous natural remedies including cabbage...I am a firm believer in natural cures...so I will get on to this.
