I never thought I would have to deal with this but it is real and I'm trying to come to grips with it.
What we originally thought was a torn ligament, is a failed total knee replacement. It seems my, now retired, doctor botched it up. My second opinion doctor showed me the deterioration of his work on the x-rays I had to bring with me.
Some of you may remember when I got the new knee in May of last year. Apparently, it has been loosening all along and it needs to be redone. I am devastated to learn this news. On the other hand, it explains alot of the difficulty I've been having for a couple of months. It is a bright light at the end of the tunnel to know it can probably be fixed.
I am going to my new doctor this afternoon to find out the new surgery date. The pain is unreal, it's so intense. This is the reason I haven't been on the board much lately.
I would love to hear from anyone that's ever been through this or heard about someone that has.
I told Daisy and Delilah to get their nursing uniforms out again. I told my kids as well cause.......here we go again.![]()
