My Colorful Knee [8: Graphic Warning] (Update #22)

**sandragonfly** · 10-20-2007, 10:21 AM

well, it was almost only two days driving. we drove all way without stopping at a place.

rope course, yes, a risk - I really wanted to do something I know I wouldn't for in a while! but the second surgery was much a minor than the first one and I thought my knee was getting better at that time (a month ago now). I was required to partipicate anyway and nothing happened.

k9karen, that is the problem.

haven't been to physical therapist since I left california. oh yes, it is painful but I know I NEED it so badly - it really concerns me and eats me up. I only can do the techiques my physical therapist last taught me - that's all I am covered of. I would have left (to fly to california) already but I am really stuck with all of my animals here. so, again, I really don't know what to do about that. I hurt it last time defending myself and I guess all I can do for now is to pray and hope it IS okay.

thank you dear scooter's mom.

Gina, we are so glad you are on the mend in a happy, safe home. We're all praying and sending healing vibes and good energies that you will be back on your feet properly very soon!

Meanwhile, take good care of yourself, Gina! And let your canine and feline buddies give you the tender loving care that you need.

Love, hugs, and purrs,
Pat and cats

Gina, you're right, it is a very colorful knee. Take good care.

I agree with you, Elyse. Colorful for sure. You have really had a rough time, Gina. Hopefully it will heal now and you can return to a life of everything the way it was before the surgery. You could really benefit from physical therapy too. I hope it's possible to get some soon so you can help your recovery.

Gina, I know you are just getting reorganized and feeding little peanuts and suggies and all

, but since you are now not working, would you now qualify for Medicaid? Even just for physio?

Just a thought.

HUGS!

no catty, I'm NOT eligibled for it. we've went through everything until that last choice.

thank you everyone but to be honest, I over again and again thinking of to just leave rather than figuring things out around here.

regardless of all things I tried (charged the guy, saved the house, accepted the new additions, and talking with friends), I have no life right now. not for next few months or until my knee gets out of the way; is usable.

remember, I nearly had to lose my leg.

I am dragged right now. to no point.

Gina, I don't know if those will do much good...of course, it says these are to be done with a physio's supervision only.

I wonder if there is a physio SCHOOL in your area where senior students do supervised training? Might work....

Prayers out to you!
