I finally saw a Doctor

Why is it that it is not until you finally concede and go through all the trouble to make a doctor's appointment that you feel better? Unfortunately, I have continued to have some swelling and discomfort in my sprained knee heading into this week. And much more unfortunately, that discomfort was causing other issues in my back and calf due to my funny walking for soooo long. So, my awesome Spanish tutor helped find me an orthopedist this week and she even too me to the appointment to help me communicate with him.

Anyway, I had a very interesting trip to see him on Thursday in the hospital, where the doctor's offices are located and payed just $18 total to see him for 15 minutes. He examined my knee and declared that the remaining swelling is normal, my knee is stable, and best of all he is confident that I did not tear my ACL or MCL.  Phew!!

He gave me a much stronger anti-inflamatory and told me to do at least 10 sessions of physical therapy and I should be fine soon.

The best news is that after only 3 days on the pills, my knee feels tons better!!!

Anyway, feeling great, I went on a really long walk with Maia yesterday and came across a new and amazing lookout so I grabbed a shot for you:

Spencer went on an amazing trip this week to a place called Quilotoa and he promises to write and post lots of photos about it soon.
