We had to head out nice and early again this morning so there wasn't time for a walk.  John had an 8:45 a.m. appointment in Uvalde to get the results of his knee x-rays.  The doctor told him there were no broken bones or apparent structural damage; however, he still needs to have an MRI to determine the cause of the swelling and discomfort in the knee.  She told John that the swelling is the knee's way of protecting something that is injured.  John opted for a couple of steroid injections to reduce the swelling and to make it more comfortable to walk and move around.  He is scheduled for an MRI next Tuesday and then will been seen by an orthopedic doctor.

We returned home just in time to meet the Direct TV serviceman with our new DVR receiver.  The installation took a couple of hours and once he was finished, we met up with Rodger, Tootie, Gene, and Jeanne for some golf.  John decided to give his knee a rest, not tee off, and just practiced his chipping and putting.  I played about six holes this afternoon and my back felt pretty good.  We spent a pretty quiet evening watching the Gold Rush show and just vegging out.  It seems like all we did this past week was run to doctor appointments.  Hopefully, there won't be too many more in our future.
