Whit's Knee - an update

[whittles]

I had my appointment with the orthopedic surgeon yesterday. A very sweet older gentlemen with a real bow tie and suspenders named Dr Pugh. His PA came and looked me first and moved my leg in ways no one else would dare try. For the record, it is NOT supposed to bend that way. Once he came in and she showed up the hyper-mobility of my both laterally

O lady - please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I don't know what I can do to help - but I would like to, so keep me on the list of helper monkeys.

Thanks, hun. I do appreciate that. It sounds like there's a long haul ahead of me, so I'm sure there will be things to help with.

I wish you healing and focus.

Have they given you a good idea of what *you* can do now to keep it as stable as possible?

Also, would you qualify for the new high risk pool under healthcare reform? I am thinking you might but I am not sure.

[whittles]

for now my job is to wear the brace and stay off of it as much as possible.
I hadn't thought about the high risk pool. That's something to consider.

This.

Wishing you as fast a recovery as possible...
