knee surgery on hold for now...

May 13, 2008 21:13

I had hoped to be able to get my knee replacement done this month and go back to work in the fall but funding issues have decided another path. I am actively trying to get a job now and will have to get my knee done later. The weight loss is helping a bunch and drugs help, too. I saw my Primary Doctor today and she is very happy with my weight loss ( Read more... )

I'm sorry to hear about you having to postpone the surgery, Cathe. That sucks. BUT the good news is that you're feeling so much better! Good luck job hunting!

It is ok. I am in less pain these days and will get it done as soon as I can. Just have to be able to support myself and Daniel in the process. HUGZ

Funding seems to always get in the way of best laid plans. Good luck with the job hunting and great news on the weight loss. That can only help your knee!!!

That is for sure! I am going to get a cortizone shot next week to help too. HUGZ

Have you tried making arraingments for a payment plan? (just a thought) :)

It is not the surgery I need to pay for it is living expenses. I sold my house to do both surgeries before I had to return to work but the money ran out too fast... Low selling price and outstanding bills ate most of it. I'll get it done soon as I can... Hugz

I hope the weight loss is helping knee (and congratulations on that). I am a little over 7 days from my surgury and it was only acl/mcl repair. Knee replacement is probably less fun. You can always find me online if you want to talk knees. :) Take care.

I have that and the bones have actually worn each other flat. Is not a pretty picture or a comfortable walk. I am looking forward to relieving the pain for sure and to be able to walk as far as I want to. You take care of yourself sweetie... Hugz

Gosh, I'm sorry I must have missed your post about needing knee replacement surgery! Hope you do okay until you can get it done..

It was sort of slipped in there... :) I am doing better now and hopefully can get a job and wait it out 6 months or so... we'll see! HUGZ
