Sorry I haven't been around much...just so crabby that I haven't felt I'd be very congenial in response to folks' threads. That is, I don't think I would have been as supportive as I've strived to be in the past.
Mare, so glad you're back home and on the mend. What an ordeal!
Lor, hope Britt is doing better. My DDs lost several friends in high school; not an easy thing. They and their friends really supported each other like no one else could.
Doreen, glad to see that things are looking up for you.
Bern and Dutch...your posts always bring a smile -- thank you!
Well, weekend before last I was vacuuming and as I pivoted my body, I felt a "snap" or 'pop" in my left knee. It's done that before, and after a few days of aching it got better. But this time it was not to be. Almost 2 weeks later and it's worse, hurting and swelling.
After I had given it, oh, 4-5 days, I went to the dr. I guess this was last Friday. She recommended an MRI and said she would order it, that I'd probably hear from Vanc. Radiology later that day or Saturday. Monday of course, was a holiday here, so Tuesday I still had not heard anything. I called my dr's office and they discovered that the MRI had never been ordered; the order had been buried or something on the med secretary's desk. They said they'd get right on it.
Oh, meantime, I had called my ins. co. who said they needed dr. to call for pre-certification, adding another layer of complication.
Well, having heard nothing by yesterday (Thur) I called and secretary said the ins. co. told her it may take 72 hrs. to process the pre-cert. Ugh! Now it's the weekend. I hope they approve it, because if they don't, I'm not paying $3,000 for it. I have been re-aggravating it, it's buckling on me and now am walking with a cane AGAIN! Grrrr.
Oh, and to top it all off, Monday I'm scheduled for my colonoscopy. So Saturday will be clear liquids, Sunday bathroom day. Then Monday gimping into the GA office and hoisting myself up on a table for that---all with hurting-as-all- get-out knee pain.
Sound crabby? Well, I am! And if that's not enough, Frank is having trouble with his shoulder, a probable rotator cuff tear. He'll find out for sure on that Tuesday.
So our home is just a house of joy and happiness --- not!
So, that's why I haven't been around much...I've been wallowing in my own anger and pity! Not feeling worthy to respond to you. I'm sorry.



Hi Red
Thanks and I am feeling better with every passing day. I still get so darn tired though if I do to much or we go out for lunch or to run errands. Something that was a normal routine for me has become a bit of a chore. I know time and healing will take care of this problem but getting tired of being tired!! LOL
I am so sorry to hear about your knee. What a mess with the Dr office and insurance mess ups. Anytime something is really hurting and we have to wait to get the test run to find out what the heck is going on and what needs to be done to fix the problem it tends to make one pretty darn crabby I would say. Then you have the colonoscopy on Monday. Oh joy girl no wonder you are feeling pretty crabby!!!

Don't blame you in the least for being crabby...Any one of things would do it for me....but a bum knee, a colonoscopy, and insurance woes...what a pain!!
Oh, Girl,
Geez, I would be crabby too and think I am in sympathy! I'll think of you often and say a little prayer for you and Frank.
Hugs to you both,
Kathie
Well..no wonder you are crabby! with all that going on..your knee..upcoming colonoscopy (they are a pain in the butt..LOL)...Frank's shoulder...(I had that in '99..bone spur cutting into rotator cuff...had arthroscopic surgery..fine now)
Glad my posts can bring some measure of cheer!!
hope all will be well soon and that you and Frank will be back to your old selves (or perhaps "new and improved selves!)
good luck
hugs

By the time you read this your colon exam will probably be over and you can eat again.
Chiming in late, but I hope things are much
better for you and DH by the time you read this.
We will be thinking of you!
Hugs,
Cindy
