nothing more on the job front yet, but i'll be going back monday and babying it/trying to.

had my follow up with a specialist today, he thinks its either the meniscus or just general cartilage, but apparently insurance (which im running through workers comp) doesn't pay for mri's unless they show they've tried treating it. so i got a giant cortisone shot and instructions to just keep babying it. if nothing changes i'm supposed to go back and get an MRI and they'll probably go in and clean it up since im young enough for that to be an option or some goofy shit.

so basically im still fucked. the hope is the cortisone shot masks the pain enough to work on it but i need to rest as much as possible and hope is it heals during the duration. think they said it lasts like 5-6 weeks.

hope this shit works i don't want surgery and more doctor visits. shit is the worst
