I'm keeping this brief because I'm exhausted, both emotionally and physically. That said, I did want to let you know what happened at Lizze's appointment with her orthopedic specialist. The X-rays came back and apparently; there's nothing that requires surgical intervention. That's awesome but not at all what we thought was going to happen. Lizze has been told a few years back that she needed surgery to clean up her knee. She put it off until her knee was so bad that she couldn't take it. It turns out what looked like damage was a bit of arthritis behind her knee cap. The problems she's experiencing don't seem to be her actual joint physically. What the doctor thinks is happening is that the arthritis is causing something, I can't remember…

Alright. Lizze had her knee x-ray, and as expected, it went just fine. We don't know what they show, but the process was smooth. She got in early, and we had about an hour to kill before she sees her doctor to learn the results. I was mistaken about her having an MRI on her knee today as well. She needs it and will have it done, but insurance required the x-ray first, and then we can schedule a return trip for the second MRI. It would be nice to knock this all out today, but insurance is being difficult. It's only about an hour long drive to get here, so it's not a huge deal. We just can't get enough of the Cleveland Clinic. 🙄 Hopefully, we'll at least…
