Session 16 - the end is in sight

Okay, today was needles, and I didn't shout. Figured I'd behave well for what's most likely my last needle session.

The doctor told me that I should come in tomorrow just for the regular non-needle treatment, and schedule an MRI for Friday morning, then come and talk to him later that day about the results and the follow up routine.

So, the really unique physiotherapy session in Delhi is almost at an end. I am feeling better than before. There is still swelling around the knee, but part of that must be leftover effusion, patellar bruising from my incident, and also from the torn MCL. The MCL, which was supposed to heal by itself anyhow given a window of 4-12 weeks, is still stiff and is also painful at times. Mild and bearable pain, just kind of the throbbing type.

Well, I remember how skeptical I was when I first heard about Dr. Jatin Chaudhry and his alternative healing method. Having been immersed in his process, it's been hard not to become a believer. It's reached the point where I'd be really shocked if there has been no ACL healing at all. I'd be very disappointed if there hasn't been enough healing to forestall reconstructive surgery. Looks like what I'm expecting is indeed the truly miraculous result of a reconnected ACL without a tear but one that needs 2-3 months more of caring and physical rehab for it to strengthen. That is, of course, the best case scenario for all ACL patients in the clinic. Right now there are 4 of us, and I am the first one up for the MRI scan and confirmation. Wish me luck!
