So I went to Raleigh Orthopaedic yesterday. You know how I don't like to go to doctors because I'm always afraid of the "bad news" that I've seen so many people get. Well, I got good news. I was x-rayed all over (both knees and my elbow) and NOTHING is broken. I found out that my knee caps have always been abnormally lateral (out to the side) and not midline like most peoples. The doctor said taht he is surprised that I've not had dislocations before. He presecribed some physical therapy to strenthen the muscles on the medial (inside) part of my knee to help keep those kneecaps from rotating outward again. I do still have a lot of fluid on them, but we're also working to get that off.
So, wow, a good report overall. I was really scared that I had permanently messed something up. Work was again QUIET last night and I am off to bed now so I can get up and do it again.

About Me
- Jason T
- I am a full-time paramedic with a local county EMS agency. I worked for 16 years both part-time and full-time in 911 Communications and will always be a telecommunicator in my heart though now I work in the field full-time. I began my EMS career at 15 years of age and am still going strong. I am writing this blog as a means to DE-STRESS and put my thoughts in writing. I was recently elected to the Clayton Town Council and am excited to sit on "the other side" of the podium and not be on the "asking" side for a change. I plan to write a book one day and I think this is a great way to start putting my thoughts in writing.
