Just got back from the orthopedists' office... After several x-rays and a physical examination, it's been decided that I have a mild sprain to my left knee. The knee felt a little loose but he doesn't think it's serious. I'm to continue with ice and ibuprofen but no need to splint/brace, and no physical therapy. He said my knee should be fine in a couple of weeks. I'm not supposed to ski until the pain goes away though. And I was told to take the sled down next time, just to be safe. :lol:
So I'm out for the rest of February but it looks like I'll be back in the game next month, and I should be okay for the SB/MRG trip next month. I was told if my knee gets worse or doesn't feel right before the trip, I can go back for a re-exam but otherwise, no need to return. Woohoo!!!!!!
Now that will probably cost $150.... :roll:

). He said that I can judge what I can do with it; no need to stay off unless I feel the need to. Brian's taking my extremely strenuous ticket-scanning work shift tonight :lol: and probably Friday, too, so at least 3 more days of rest. Then we'll see how it goes. I don't plan on skiing again until March, just to be safe.
