a little encouragement

[davidpizzica]

On tuesday I go in to see the orthopeic surgeon about my knee. I'm kind of nervous about what he'll find out about it. I don't want to hear the words, "you need more surgery".

[Karen]

But just think, after the visit, you won't have that dread of the visit weighing you down! Tell him I said "Your knees are your friends, be gentle to them!"

We'll be thinking of you!

Good luck on Tuesday!

David,

Good luck at the doctor. I hope it's just a little water on the knee that can be drawn out by a "gulp" needle that will help relieve the pain.

You will be, as always, in my thoughts and prayers.

Hugs,

Donna

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate all of the kind words and cheering up. I'm hoping it isn't anything serious and I can go back to work again. I'll let everyone know the results. Thanks again.

I just came from my regular doctor today and now I have TWO doctor's appointments for tomorrow! She is sending me to a cardiologist at 9:30 because she's concerned about my a-fib and when I get through that, I still have to go and see about my knee at 2:30. I"ll be doctored out!

Okay, take a plain-color T-shirt and a Sharpie. Write on it in big letters:

Be Nice to Me:
People Love me!

Very good luck at the doctors tomorrow, David. Two in the one day is a bit much for anybody!

Karen, I'll wear my Cat Sense shirt. It's purple with a picture of a grey tabby on the front. Maybe if the doctors see that I'm a cat lover, they'll go easier on me!

Thanks Karen. I'm still kind of apprehensive as to what they'll say to me at either one!

Good thoughts from Ohio headed your way.......

[gini]

I sincerely hope that all goes well for you today, David!

[Logan]

I hope you get two good reports today, David!! Might as well knock them all out in one day so you don't have to take more time away from work. :)

[Miss Z]

I've got my fingers crossed for you, David!

[Daisy and Delilah]

All my best wishes to you, David. I hope that all you get is good news. Can't wait for an update.
My latest surgery is over and I hope it's a success. Glad to get out of the hospital.

Daisy and delilah, I was very lucky at the orthopedic surgeon appointment. My left knee is okay, he thought I might have strained some muscles around it. However at the cardiologist, he's worried about my Atrial Fibrillation and he wants to test for sleep apthia! He also wants to give me a stress test and lose some weight and have dental work done. {{{{HUGS}}}} to you for being out of the hospital and getting better!

[Rachel]

Sounds like you getting some good advice from the cardiologist and that he is going to be helpful in doing everything possible in terms of ensuring you will be around long enough for knees to wear out. :p Thanks for the update.
Just had one of those stress tests myself. I aced it. LOL

[Daisy and Delilah]

I'm so happy to hear you probably won't be needing surgery on the knee, David. Good for you!! Remember to baby it like crazy. It will pay off in the end.
Best wishes on the rest of your tests. Sleep apnea can be very serious. My son was just tested. He stopped breathing 40 times in an hour. It scares me to hear this. It scared him too. He's turned into a health seeking machine since he got the report. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. {{{{{HUGS}}}}
Thanks for your kind words:)
