I\'ve been having problems with my left knee since a slip last fall. It felt like it was getting better for a while, but shows in January left me limping and in a lot of pain. I finally broke down and went to the doctor. She ordered an MRI, and sent me to a knee specialist. He seems more focused on the arthritis than the injury. I had the arthritis before, and a couple of aspirin would make any pain pretty much go away. I got a cortisone shot in the knee joint, and that has made a huge difference, and he\'s talking about injecting a gel into the joint. He needs approval from my insurance first, and I\'m going to have a lot more questions before I go through with that. He\'s talking knee replacement somewhere down the road. But, I can\'t get a straight answer on why my entire problem, in his eyes, is the arthritis, when it wasn\'t a problem before my slip!

Yesterday was spent in a photo studio, one of my girls was recruited for a cars.com ad that will be coming out on Instagram late in March. It was really interesting, she was really patient with everyone. Now, I\'ve got to learn about instagram so I can see the ad when it\'s released!
