Life of a Knee

Postby chefjoe » Jun Thu 14, 2018 11:31 am

On going story of a stupid bad fall. My stupid knee, I was scheduled for surgery, but my cario doc said no, I have to give him a 500 doller office visit first. So I'm still weak knee wise, but only the softball sized hemotoma remains, with luck it'll heal on it's own while I wait to see cardio doc. The wife won't let me on the computer but 20-30 minutes a day, so as to keep me off my knee. Anyhow, now I have something to work with, of course any sign of worstening infection means all bets are off and I'm back in bed, time to fire up the old laptop if that happens. :)  Thank you all so much for your support and kind thoughts!!

Same here man. I know how doctors can be. Better safe than sorry I say. After all, they're the doctors.

You'll get well soon, I'm sure
