Accident Prone Update

The roommate did not actually break a bone in her knee. It turns out the radiologist who read her x-rays was a short bus rider. She had strained the MCL tendon last year and when you do that a calcium deposit tends to form where the MCL and the bone meet.
On the down side, she definitely messed her knee up. The doctor doesn't think she tore her MCL or ACL though she probably strained both. There is also a slight chance she tore the meniscus cartilage but that is a fairly easy fix. She has an MRI this week and a doctors appointment in 2 weeks so she will know more then. In the mean time it's physical therapy, ice and frustration for not being able to do what she likes.
