orthopedist

so, now i feel bad because i heard from my doctor today, and she told me she finally received the results of my x-rays yesterday but didn't have enough of a voice to call me (she had lost her voice when i saw her last friday). anyway, she said that an orthopedic radiologist looked at my x-rays and said that there was no breakage, just fluid in my knee which would absorb naturally. so i, of course, had questions. we were able to get in touch today, and she told me that i shouldn't train until the swelling in my knee went down completely because if there is still swelling, then i there is a danger of me causing further damage to my knee. so, i asked her how i know when the swelling is down, and she said that i should come back in to see her when i think it's gone down completely. then she called me back like 2 minutes later and said that i should see an orthopedic specialist. so i have to call tomorrow to schedule an appointment. oh man. this sucks. i am so depressed about this. i feel helpless - hey, knee! heal quicker, will you?
