We were lucky enough to get Brian to the ortho today. Luckily, we called Liz's ortho, and his partner had an appointment.
Unfortunately, the news isn't good. The doctor isn't sure, but speculates that Brian might have blown his ACL, MCL and meniscus. Apparently, this is described as the "Unhappy Triad" of injuries.
Brian has been a real trooper and hasn't even taken the real pain killers yet. I'm more of wimp and probably would have taken at least a few doses already...if not more.
The doctor gave us the OK to travel head to Michigan. Depending on the weather (it's supposed to snow), we'll try and head out tonight. Brian was also able to get an MRI done today, which is good news because then we'll be able to have more information from the MRI.
It's most likely Brian will need knee surgery. We'll continue to keep you posted. Hopefully, we can still have a relaxing holiday.

Cat tells me your family lives in Brighton. Small world. My brother and sister-in-law live in Brighton.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving without too much pain (and/or lots of pain killers!) for Brian.

Brian, sounds so painful! hope you are feeling better. Lisa, i will try calling you next week.
Brian, that's a long way to go to get column fodder, but good luck on the rehab.
