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

[Daisy and Delilah]

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!

THANK YOU candace. I was about to lose all of my hairs here. I'll want to check that out, might have one here... at least there's a hope. doc attatchments, am stuck here without a computer until tomorrow.

looks like the second link would help a lot until so if I could do the exercises - it's hard to find a good site on this little pager. however, second big problem? refills. sometimes either I couldn't move my knee or even leg at all without pain killers (more than before now). I was told from my last physical therapist that I am suppose to take some before I start new exercises. see the figure of supine exercise in that link? that was the last techique I learned and if I made that one move - I'd be in tears. I haven't made to that point yet, and it's only 10 ups!

again, I don't know if it is healing (good) or damaging (bad) to continue, pushing doing painful exercises (due to damages?) until my knee can't take it anymore; when to stop? so far I never am able to finish a set (of few exercises out of two or three time a day). with killers, I move through... I called my original doctor weeks ago, explained all of this and he won't write me another refill prescription unless I come in and see him.

honestly it's all about money and I'm sick of it.

Gina, seeing those pictures of your leg, I can only imagine the pain you are in right now.

I pray that you will be able to get some kind of help to finally get your knee on the road to healing.

Continued prayers being sent out to you that everything will turn out well for you in the near future. Please do not give up hope. Take one day at a time and keep the faith.

thanks lorraine.

no luck today, I was in bed sick, slept all day away, having excruciating pain in right abdomen but am feeling ok now. and my knee seems is good today, bothered me only a little especially being stuck in the bed.

I'll try again tomorrow.
