jenn, may be medication but I don't have much of it left. or perhaps appendix. I looked up symptoms, sounded much of it. I agree about not needing to go back california - I really don't want to. there must be something here for my knee.. we'll see. I've had an appendix few years ago and I shouldn't have have it again??

kelly, I'm not sure if it was done IN hospital exactly but it was done in specialist clinic; pre-admitting/operation office.

I am qualified, which is why I am not eligibled for medicaid. my insurance only covers all california regions without a problem. there are SOME regions out of town/state they would accept but not here for physical therapy (not considered as an emergency) and accepts emergencies only anywhere I believe as a student. but I could try and call again about transportation...

the diagnosis was recurved dislocating kneecap; did hauser's produce, with screws. it went an hour less than what my doctor thought it would be - about 45 minutes. he did not think the fell caused blood clots. this recovery prolonged due to following events; infection, first fall, blood clots, stressful estrogens, third fall, second repairment, lack of physical therapy back here - almost two months ago now, living in car then was in ICU/hosptial for two extra weeks last week for a different medical reason and lastly, don't forget hematoma. dried blood/fluid clotted up inside/under kneecap - it really gets in the way, locks my knee very well and prevents most movements also. sometimes I can't tell whether if it's the damaged pain or hematoma pain. my doctor wants me to do PT until I walk fine.

and please use this term - deaf, see here why. thank you and thank you for checking in.
