Tdawg Update.

Tdawg lifting weights after school as part of preseason football conditioning. He was lifting 225 pounds and doing squats, when he heard his knee pop. It swelled but otherwise did not look too bad. But when the swelling did not go away, I took him to our GP. I expected some anti-inflammatory medication and see ya later. No, he said he thought it could be tendon damage and sent us to a specialist. Thankfully, the specialist said it was minor damage to the meniscus. He prescribed an anti-inflammatory and said see ya later. I am thankful that there was not damage that would require surgery. Tdawg is very happy that he can continue and hopefully make it as a starter for the football team. I admire his tenacity!
