Is it the MCL?

I went to the specialist doctor yesterday who was optimistic about my knee. He doesn't necessarily think it is my ACL, and if it's only my MCL (some other tendon in there) I may not need surgery. Yay!

The pain has gone down considerably, I can do stairs all I want now! It's a little stiff, but walking is alright. No gymnastics for the time being.

I have this brace to wear on my knee all the time while I wait for an MRI appointment to open up. That would be next week, but we'll be in St. Lucia (Poor me) so I have my MRI scheduled for the week we get back. It will be a little while before I know my fate for sure.
