I'm going in, call 911 if you don't hear from me!

Comment Published at 05:3005:3015 comments15 comments54 Visits54 VisitsReport

I am going to attack the kitchen and living room. They've been neglected and left untamed for a week or so. That and I fear about my future! 

My knee has been aching on and off for months. I've been complaining to the hubby, and though he sympathizes, he thought it's just a regular aches and pains. One day, I came up to him and made him listen to the sound my knee was making and it freaked him out, which in turn freaked me out! Now he's urging me to go to the doctor and tells me I may need surgery. YIKES!!  Why do I need my husband's confirmation in order for me to want to see a doctor? I don't really know. I guess it comes with the territory of being a mother - everyone comes first and me last. That and I have a high tolerance for pain.

So... now I want to clean my kitchen and livingroom in case I have to dissappear for surgery. I know, I know, the thought of surgery is premature, as I haven't even seen a doctor yet! But it would be such a horror if I do go to the doctor and the doctor doesn't let me come home and then we have to call my in-laws to come help us out and she sees how horrible the house is!

I am going in. Call 911 if you don't hear from me!!!!

I've got 2 knees, 2 hips, a shoulder, and an elbow that creak, groan, clunk, crack, rattle, and make all sorts of weird noises, and they have their aching moments, but they are livable with. If I wanted them fixed I'd be on the elective surgery list for ages before anything was done about it. When they get to the point where they hurt all the time then I'll see about doing something about them. LOL

Your doctor will send you home and you will have to wait for the surgery if indeed you do need it, so don't get too excited about it.

I hope the doc was very helpful, and it's nothing too serious? You need those knees to be 150% ok to chase after your 3! Otherwise you have to be like me and yell lots, which isnt very good parenting, but I dont have much choice since I wrote a car off on them 20 years ago!

And I assume your inlaws didnt have twins, so hopefully they'll put down any mess to that and be extremely forgiving of any lapses in perfection!

I haven't seen the doc, Kathryn. I am terrible about even just getting an appointment when it comes to me. I am due to see so many doctors (annual check, blood work, dermatologist for my eczema). I just keep putting them off! But I am making an effort go to see an orthopedist for my knee... this one can't wait because it hurts!

Shhhh, there is a well kept secret, but I am sure you will keep it safe. O.k here goes  The In Laws were once parents to toddlers too.  Yep honestly they were. Its true, they had a kitchen and living space that looked lived in once too. hehe.

Take care of you and go visit that Doc so he/she cant feel neglected, I am sure they will give you more than a minutes warning on drastic measures. Best wishes with the clean up, and will look out for your return from the abyss asap.

Luv Winnie.xxxx

Shhh! You can't go telling people that! They might realise they don't have to be all stressed out about the in-laws all the time, and then the in-laws might realise they know the truth, and then they'll have to be really nice just in case someone else finds out, and we can't have that happening!

Unfortunately unless it is an emergency I think that surgery appointments are not a go straight in Izzy. Sorry to say that but I had a long waiting time for my operation. They booked before christmas and it wasn't til April but hope to goodness it is not something you need operated on! Good luck and empathise about the house. I would die if my mother walked in now. She may too! LOL

Fortunately, my mother in law has seen our house in a mess. When I went into labor with the twins, I left the house and was never allowed to go back home before I was admitted to the hospital.  But still, it doesn't lessen the shame I put on myself.

hugs to ya Izzy. I know all about knees chicki. I am about to go and get my Bi lateral muscles in both knees (outer muscle) fixed on the 27th june. I am so scared as this will be op #4&5 on my knees. I pray this one works.

I hope you dont have to have a op and it is somethig simple like loose cartilidge or fluid. :)

good luck for the app with your doc.

Oh and needing hubby's aproval to see ya doc is very normal. LOL we dont want to think anything is wrong with us. :)
