Yesterday, I said that Bible Study would not meet until June 12 - well DUH, I meant July 12.   Hopefully, I will be on the mend for my left knee.



Today, I went over to Southwestern Medical Center for my pre-op.   Got a chest x ray, blood tests and an EKG.   Guess all is well, as they have not cancelled.   I am scheduled for Tuesday morning and have all my instructions.   They will call me on Monday with the exact time that I am to be there.   Bart will take me and bring me home again.

I hope I am not too optimistic.   I am expecting great things from this procedure.  I told Dr. Harris that and he smiled and said he would do his best.

Today has been quite painful.   I think it is probably because we are going to get some storms tomorrow night and the air pressure is toying with me.    I have tried cold all day and just put Sombra on my joints to try to prepare me for tonight.

Bart took his granddaughters, Abbie and Adria and their Aunt Tory to Kansas City to see Def Leppard.   His favorite band.   Tory sent pictures and they all looked like they were having SUCH a good time.   He had the biggest smile on his face:)   Bart is what I would call a groupie of Def Leppard.    Remember, George, a groupie is not a stalker:)

Live you all.

Hi

Went to Bible Study this morning.    We will not be meeting until June 125h.   I am so glad as I will be getting treated and recuperating.

On the way home, I stopped at Bart and Barb's and let Leo and Lily out for a potty break as Bart was gone for that part of the day.   Like to be of help.

I have all the scheduling done for my pre op, my surgery and the followup for my knee.  Please pray for relief form pain.

Several other of my projects are coming to a head so this is helping keep me distracted.

Tomorrow, I go for the preop lab tests.

Well, Bart went with me to see Dr. Harris for the results of my MRI on my knees.  

We have decided to do a scope procedure on them  - one at a time, left knee first as it is bothering me the most, I think.  Sometimes, when most of ones joints hurt, it is hard to tell which one hurts the worse:)  :)   Does that mean Tee hee?

Anyway, on Tuesday morning Dr. Harris will do the procedure.   Please pray that all goes well.    I.
actually don't feel as bad this afternoon as I did this morning.    The air is much less humid.  Hope it stays this way for a day or two.

Hi

Haven't felt much like posting when I don't have good things to say,  BUT.   On Friday, Dr. Toy, my chiropractor called me.  I gave him permission to get the results of the Thursday MRI.

It seems that I have Baker's Cysts in my knees.   Dr. Toy called me to let me know so that I can research it.   I will see Dr. Harris on Monday who Dr. Toy said will prescribe treatment that is best for me.    I am so glad for Dr. Toy's information because I have lots of questions when I see Dr. Harris.  

I was supposed to usher at church this morning.   When I got there, I knew that this was a stupid idea.   Thank God, my fellow ushers saw that I was in pain and jumped in to fill in for me.   I managed to stay until I had the Eucharist, but then headed home for a rest.    

We had rain this morning too.   Helped the lawns, did not help my joints:)

So PLEASE pray for me tomorrow when I see Dr. Harris and find out what can be done for the pain in my joints.     I want to be me again with some ZIP!!!
