Went to the surgeon today. I will be having surgery in a few weeks. He said probably before Christmas which will be good, but I hope it's not too early because I still need to make money for buying presents. Just had a talk with the kid about that.
So he's doing .... something. Apparently my knee caps don't sit properly. It sits off to the side and even when I bend my knee it doesn't align properly. He said that the tissues and tendons are too tight and that hopefully making cuts to them will help. If that doesn't work he'll have to actually break part of the bone below my knee and adjust is so that it realigns my whole knee cap. He's doing the work first on my right and then my left. I am not looking forward to the surgery but at least I know that the pain isn't in my head like my doctor thinks it is. He said the recovery for this surgery will be a few weeks, the major one is four to six months. So yeah. I haven't heard back from him yet but Jo-Ann said she would call next week with the appointment.
I am now going to make food. I wish I had more money than the $1.23 I have now. Fucking life.
And it amazed me when I was there how many people were walking around in masks and heading down to get chest x-rays. Even when I was in the office someone walked in and his wife made him put on a mask because he'd been coughing. Panic anyone?
I also forgot to mention that I suffer from serious misalignment of my hips, mostly caused by my knees. He said that the hip pain should hopefully decrease after the surgery and that the tendons and stuff are so tight that they are pulling my hips out of alignment. Seriously...new body please?
Now I am making pork chops and Kraft Dinner because I am hungry and want food.
