Hey there. Update for you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I have been taking Vicoden to manage the pain, so it's okay. My chest/sternum/ribs are improving, but knee is worsening. It's swollen, and so is the lower leg (drainage). I had 4 doctor appts yesterday, got my MRI last, so I'm hoping my doctor will call with an orthopedic surgeon appt for me today.

Once the initial stuff is all taken care of, I think things will settle down. Doctors worry about pneumonia (I have to breathe in a thingy to monitor that), pulmonary embolism, and diverticulitis developing this first week.
