Got myself an ambulance ride!

[ShopShoe]

Sorry to hear about the fall.

I've had one ambulance ride: The first hardest part was the bad jokes by the EMTs. "Have you been in one of these before?"  (I answer, "No.") "Neither Have I..."  HA HA HA.

For those not in the U.S.: Other hardest part is the U.S. overlapping bureaucracies. First Questions at E.R. are about What Insurance. I was in a building  in overlapping jurisdictions when 9-1-1 was called: Two ambulances, Two fire engines, Two Police Cars showed up, Then they had to call another city (Another Fire Department) who arranged the ambulance ride. That said, all personnel treated me carefully, meticulously, and professionally. I am confident that if I was in a worse way they would have acted more quickly, so my "non-critical" condition just makes for a memorable experience and a good set of stories.

Hope this is a chuckle.

I heard from Dave yesterday. Nothing is broken; possibly a torn quadracept.

 Well      I did tear a quad.   Not sure how bad   but would seem surgery is likely.

Waiting for a MRI appointment....sometime today

Recently had a knee MRI.....I had stepped off the wrong side of a pedestal whilst working on the big roller, knee went "crack" when I landed in agony. Laid still for a while then got myself home where I sat around for a few days.  No improvement so Doc visit hence MRI.  Some time after they drained lots of fluid off my knee and injected some sort of steroid. No surgery needed and now good as new.  I hope you are able to achieve a good solution and get back to fun.    Best Wishes           Terry
