Good news & thanks again

I FINALLY had my appointment with the orthopedic surgeon and had great news!  
My cartilage was NOT torn or fractured.  I had a big pocket of fluid behind 
my knee cap, causing similar symptoms.  Also, the surgeon did specialize in 
sports medicine and he rides horses on occasion!  When I asked about riding, 
he asked what breed and what discipline, I replied Walking Horse and 
endurance/Competitive Trail rides.  He said it was fine to ride the Walking 
Horse but no endurance until after about 4 weeks or so of rehabilitating the 
knee.  BUT I CAN RIDE, I CAN RIDE, I CAN RIDE!  I'm really happy!

Thank you again to everyone for your support and advice!
