if i have to type rheumatologist one more time...

Today I saw the rheumatologist. His suggestion was that it's probably "reactive arthritis" which basically means my body reacted to some other issue that's unrelated. Or something like that. Although, he wasn't completely sure, and I'm not completely sure, and there's really no way to test for it. But I did have blood drawn again, which will test for a few other things. Also, he did an ultrasound on my knee to see how much fluid is still in there. The fluid is the reason I still can't bend my leg all the way. He said this should eventually go away. Could take weeks, or longer. So basically, I still don't know much.

But I do have to brag for a moment. Out of the 2 and a half hours we were at the clinic, Ivy did not fuss once. She is so well-behaved. I swear she has more patience than I do. Of course, she couldn't get too bored between laughing with the old folks in the lobby, playing peek-a-boo with the doctor, and getting all kinds of attention from the lab nurses. Everybody loves her.
