KNEE UPDATE AND A YUMMY SWEET PIZZA

OK..I did not chicken out (no pun intended). Last Tuesday I saw my orthopedist and had the Synvisc injection in my knee. Those close to me knows how much I was deathly afraid dreading it, but I knew I had to give it a shot (ha another pun) if I wanted to get some relief! My hubby came with me for moral support (actually he came with me to make sure I went). As I sat on the table waiting for the handsome young Dr to come in, I started to sweat and felt like I was going to barf. Luckily I didn't!  He came in and assured me it wasn't going to hurt one bit, that I may just feel a little pressure. Because he is so good looking, I decided to trust him!!! And guess what? It didn't hurt at all! A little pressure yes, but no pain at all!!! Now I just have to wait up to 4 weeks to see if its going to work. I pray it does! The next morning I had a small bruise and some soreness but nothing to complain about. I did have this urge to do the chicken dance tho! HA HA! OK for those of you who think I am crazy...let me explain that. This injection is made  from a chicken's comb...among a few other things. I am serious! 

Hence, the chicken dance!! If it works, I don't care if it comes from the chickens rear end!!!! AND if it works, I will be having it done to my other knee in about 6 weeks! 

 Now for a delicious recipe....
