14 Nov. 2018 The Knee

We drove into Dallas to see Leslie’s knee doctor. It’s about an hour drive from Caddo Mills to North Park in Dallas. The traffic was enough to make us miss our farm to market road! The verdict on Leslie’s knee is that she has Osteoarthritis in both knees. When she slipped on the hike, it irritated the arthritis in her right knee. She may also have pulled a muscle. She injured this knee in a car accident when she was in college where she hyper extended the kneecap in addition to tearing the ACL while skiing in 2011. This makes this knee more susceptible to movement and arthritis. The good news is no surgery required. The bad news is there is no quick cure. They gave her a cortisone shot to help with the arthritis, some anti-inflammatories to help settle things down and sent on our way. Since we were in the North Park area, we took the opportunity to do some shopping for some needed items. We looked around for a TexMex fix but could not find any Mexican restaurants! We eventually found a way to a great Mexican restaurant off beltway and had got our margarita and Mexican fix!
