Oh Robin, I hate that. It seems that you and Rebecca are having an all-around bad month. Here's prayers that her knee heals without surgery.

ER docs think it might be a torn meniscus.

Oowww, that sounds painful.
Hope things aren't that bad, good luck tomorrow.
Robin, I sure hope the knee heals fast and she gets back on her blades. Believe me, I am real familiar with bad knees. (ACL in 2000). It is amazing how far they have came with the surgery. My daughter had an ACL last year and it was even easier to recover from than mine. My wife had meniscus this spring and walked out an hour after the surgery. Amazing, because she is not very fit.
Keep the spirits up. Remember even with that one step back, the two steps forward will get you where you are going.
OW!!!!
I hope Rebecca can get back up on that knee VERY SOON!!! Give her hugs and kisses for me!

...certain lifestyle choices and conditions can also contribute to estrogen dominance syndrome, especially a low-fiber diet, overloading the liver with internal toxins, and absorbing toxins from the environment.
A low-fiber diet causes estrogen levels to be higher, while a diet high in fiber results in decreased estrogen levels in the bloodstream. Why? Excess estrogen is excreted in the bowel. When stool remains in the bowel for a longer time, as in constipation, the estrogen is reabsorbed. Studies have shown that women on a high-fiber diet have lower levels of circulating estrogen. Lower levels of estrogen mean less estrogen stimulation of breast tissue, for example, which reduces the risk of breast cancer.
The liver is a filter of sorts. It detoxifies our body, protecting us from the harmful effects of chemicals, elements in food, environmental toxins, and even natural products of our metabolism, including excess estrogen. Anything that impairs liver function or ties up the detoxifying function will result in excess estrogen levels, whether it has a physical basis, as in liver disease, or an external cause, as with exposure to environmental toxins, drugs, or dietary substances.
