Scott Hamblin had to go to RMH ER Wednesday. Something popped in his knee and he's in a lot of pain. He saw a doctor Thursday and he believes he tore a meniscus. So he's treating it this way and hopeful it will heal on its own. After a couple of weeks if it's not better, they might do a MRI. Right now he can't put any weight on it. They did give him a brace to wear.
