my darned knees

Comment Published at 18:2818:284 comments4 comments39 Visits39 VisitsReport

After a total of 12 weeks of physical therapy for both my knees, there was little improvement. The doctor wants to do surgery on one knee to see if that improves and then do the other one. When the surgery is up to me, but I'm of course not jumping on that band wagon. I'm not refusing the surgery, but I'd rather wait. My father in law is undergoing knee replacement sugery in the middle of October so we will have to wait for him to recover (we need them to give us a hand when I have my sugery). So right now, I told the doctor that it'll probably by January. So he's set up an appointment for December so we can talk about it and schedule the surgery if it all works out then.

In the meantime, I have my knee braces to use and some anti inflammatory meds.

How frustrating, after all that hard work and incovenience. Oh well, at least you know now you have no option but to go thru surgery. Hope the braces/anti-inflamatories arent too bad - side effects etc? Just as the girls take off, too!

 At least you'll have a chance to see how the recovery goes. My dad is having his rotator cuffs worked on, and the first won't have healed completely for at least a year. So he's trying to schedule the surgeries to maximize playtime during his grandson's visits. Wot a pain!

 Awww that's a shame it hasn't worked better for you. Naughty knees! Hope they aren't being too naughty, rest up when you can even if it's not for long. I hope the surgery will do the trick. 

Hope the time flies,
