well, went to the doctor. not terrible news, but he still has to go back into my knee. from the MRI he can at least see a screwhead that's sticking out and rubbing against some tendon (forgot the name of it) which he thinks is causing my pain. so he needs to drill in the screw more or shave it off. he doesn't know if there's anything else unless he does a scope, but he thinks the screw is the main culprit. so a full scope is not necessary, but i'm debating whether to do it or not. i don't want him to fix the screw, find out something else is wrong, then have to go back to the hospital again to do a full scope.

spain is still up in the air though because of my recovery. it's been hampered so much by this pain that i'm far behind, and although him going back in won't delay my recovery much, i already had a lot to recover from. unless bob and mike want to push me around in a wheelchair for two weeks. :)

but if logisitics work out this time (please no nightmare of my last hospital visit) then i'll be going in on tuesday. yes, in five days. and yes, as in the last week of our quarter-end at work. um, yeah.
