Humptee Dumptee.
Hoping my orthopedic surgeon will have good news for me regarding my arm, which still hurts in spite of slow improvements over the last five weeks. I know the status of my knee won't get any better, but an injection will certainly help for now. Trying to remain optimistic, but I'll be relieved to hear I won't need surgery or rehab on my arm. The co-pays plus transportation costs for physical therapy will add up fast, and are beyond my budget. Probably he will x-ray the arm and certainly he will know more than the doc who treated me in the emergency room. Anyway, I just want to feel better. I am thankful it's no worse, but having both the knee and arm pain over all this time becomes discouraging, and makes me feel like I'm falling apart physically, which effects my mood and limits my range of motion. It's a challenge for me to be patient when hurting this much. I do trust my orthopedic doctor, though, and that makes a difference.
