Jon took me to the knee doctor this afternoon. I am thankful that Jon is good to talk to because we finally got to see the physician 2 hours after we arrivied. The gal that took care of me in the room asked how the weather was outside. I said, "Well, when we came in 2 hours ago it was OK." Long story short, I should have a total knee replacement, but I opted to have the 3 shots of "stuff" they inject to separate the bone on bone. Why? Because my right leg is worse than my left knee. I go to the doctor's tomorrow for my leg - the second time. My "diagnosis" is my herniated discs are pinching something, although I have no idea why I have a lump on the side of my leg. Prayers would be appreciated.
Tonight I am using my mom's walker. It actually helps the pain and stops me from walking like a penguin. I'm supposed to keep my leg elevated and iced for the next couple of days. We'll see. I have 2 doctor's appointments tomorrow. One for Jess and one for me.
Debbie returned and Jess was very happy to see her. Me, too.
