You know; if this was some kind of bizarre reality where I could ignore the fact that I was unable to walk; things pretty much couldn't be going better for me. I love my job (from what I have seen so far, admittedly I am still in training) I meet all kinds of people, I am fascinated by the products that I sell (not to mention getting free access to lessons whenever I like) and I am kicking ass.
Unfortunately however this is reality and I have done some sort of severe damage to my knee the extent of which I will find out shortly after my super-fun adventure trip down to Vancouver to get an MRI on Monday. MRI, for those of you who were otherwise unaware, stands for Magnetic Resonance Imagery. It is technology similar to that used in CT scans but is more effective in detecting soft, living tissue. My condition is one of two (or both) issues. 1) There is a rogue fragment of bone floating in my knee cartilage that has chipped off from one area or another and is aggravating the surrounding area. This is a fact, I saw for myself on the X-Rays, it is highly likely that this has been there for some time and isn't causing any problems. 2) I have bruised/torn the meniscus plate; a small cartilage disc that acts as a cushion between the femur and the tibia. The latter is by far the preferred situation as it may mean I will have a full recovery in as little as 3 weeks, whereas the former... Will mean intense surgery, loss of employment and most likely an early and defeated return to Australia. As much as I love Perth, this is not exactly what I had in mind for my return...
