Friday I received a phone call from Dr. Cochran's office telling me that my insurance had approved my synvisc-one injection. I was kinda hoping that they had forgotten because needles are not my favorite thing in the world. The cherry on top is that they will have to drain all the fluid from my knee before I can have the injection.

Basically this injection helps to regulate the fluid in your knee and lubricate and cushion the joint. This injection is a gel-like substance that is made from hyaluronan that comes from chicken combs (how delightful & disgusting). Hyaluronan is actually found in the human body within the joints and acts as a cushion for the joint and allows the joint to work properly.

Although this procedure is important for the health of my knee I Am Not Excited and will require hours of Netflix, Pinterest, and maybe a small paleo brownie. I am required to be off my feet for 48 hours after the injection which for me is a little difficult. So Friday morning Steven and I will go to the doctor with caffeinated smiles on our faces. I plan on wearing red lipstick because why the hell not. If I have to feel like crap then I might as well look cute. I also plan on taking pictures and videos to upload in my next blog post. Spoiler Alert this will not be fun. Happy Weekend Y'all!
