Thoughts from Crow Cottage (My Main Blog.)
crowbelle's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE LOW-DOWN THE LOW-DOWN To Whom It May Concern: We are writing to inform you that the results of your recent MR imaging study of your right knee were undeniably not so great. You have a crappy knee, let's face it. You are way too fat, thus putting lots of unwanted pressure on your poor god-given knee joint, and you abused your right knee (and more than likely your left knee, as well) all those years with all that jogging, bounding around, walking endlessly, and stomping up and down stairs all the time. It's given out, you see... and it's just about dead. IMPRESSION: PLAN: You have three choices. 2. Get injections into your knee. Yes it may hurt (you little wimp - of COURSE it will hurt! You think having a gigantic needle shoved into your sensitive joint won't hurt? You're delusional). You can get either: a) Injection of some sort of oil (we'll enclose literature on these products - just pray your insurance carrier will pay for this because you'll need to mortgage your house to pay for it yourself), or If Step #2 fails completely and you are still insistent on living without leg and knee pain, well there's always step #3. 3. Knee replacement surgery. And you just KNOW what that involves, don't you? Your life will never be the same again. Thank you for choosing us as your orthopedic provider, Mrs. C. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. But no more whining, please, about whether or not things will hurt. You are a physical wreck after 58 years of abusing your (originally) perfect body... it's all your fault and all we can do for you is try to patch it up as best we can. We are not God... so live with it! Very sincerely yours, The Orthopedic Doctors & Cohorts So that's about it. I am on the road to step #1. I have my first physical therapy session scheduled for next Friday morning, bright and early. And the fun begins all over again. Cheers/Jeers, Bex
