Chondromalacia of Patella

Time to update my "sickness".

This morning, I went to see a specialist. Good that the doctor told me I was not having Osteoarthritis but Chondromalacia of Patella (膝蓋軟骨磨損). (He simply screamed when he read my referral letter that said I had Osteoarthritis at such a "young" age!)

Basically, he gave me similar medicine as before and the same list of "do's and don'ts". [DON'T DO ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BEND MY KNEE, which ranges from going up staires to playing Tai Chi.] But he also said I didn't need to go back to him any more (which imply I am not that serious, I suppose).

After taking the new drugs of yesterday and today, I feel much better. At least I can stand up right now, although it's still a bit painful. In fact, I lunched with Rita and Amy and went to do a little bit of shopping with Rita afterwards :P

I am going back to the office tomorrow, although I have a sick leave cert for one more day. Lots to do and lots to catch up after not being concentrated for the last few days.
