Well, I'm sure you have all heard by now that I finally broke down and went to the doctor. After a week, the knot had yet to go down any. So, I figured, for a variety of reasons, that I would go ahead and get it x-rayed. Well, we were correct in assuming that there were no broken/fractured bones. I wish you could have seen the looks on the doctor's face when he saw my arm. It really has looked gross.

Anyway, the emergency room doctor couldn't explain the knot. So, he referred me to an orthopedic doctor. The knot is merely a collection of blood and fluids that have collected in that spot to try and heal the muscle, which I apparently bruised pretty badly. Anyway, he now has me in therapy to try and work out the soreness and in hopes of working out the knot. I was given silly puddy to play with at least 3 times a day! Even after 2 weeks my arm is still significantly swollen. So, therapy right now is still considered majorly conservative. I have another therapy appointment tomorrow (Thursday) and another meeting with my orthopedic on Friday. If something hasn't happened by Friday we are apparently going to do something different. So, its been interesting. I will need to take another picture for y'all to see how little progress we have made in the week and half that I've been home. It has changed a lot since the picture that is up there now. Its weird because since therapy the bruising has become more noticeable. Anyway, just thought I would let y'all know how it is progressing.

You should be happy Tag, now that I have gone to the doctor. I'm glad I didn't waste time doing all this in NY though. Later y'all!
