Today has been a good day. Mom's knee is less swollen and is almost back to a normal temp. The knee is still very tender to touch, but doesn't pain Mom other than that. This is good news. She can move her knee some without too much pain. She has only taken 1 pain pill and that was Wed. night.
Dr. Metros the orthopedic/sports medicine doctor stopped in this evening. He is not sure that there is an infection in her knee. Boy, I love it when the doctors don't agree! ARGH! He is coming in tomorrow and draining the fluid off of her knee and will send in his own cultures. We don't know any results yet of the cultures that were from the fluid taken in the doctors office on Tues.
I don't know if we are going home tomorrow or not. There has not been any discussion about that yet. I am thinking that these 2 doctors need to talk to each other before anyone discharges Mom.
So, until I know more Friday AM, goodnight.
