Sorry to be posting so late in the day. I had a doctor’s appointment today with the orthopedist about my knees. He FINALLY mentioned replacement as an option! I’m in total shock as I thought for sure I would have to wait 4 more years before he would even think about it.

I wussied out though and elected to do the chicken shots again. When I got them in my left knee, they helped with pain although not much with flexibility. The ones they tried to give me in my right knee before he decided OOPS! he should do an MRI to see just what might be wrong were flushed out when he did the scope, so Dr. Folk has given me two cortisone injections prior to this both of which lasted no time to speak of (this last set lasted 10 days), so that’s why he’s upping the ante treatment wise. We’ll see how these do — I guess I really am better off waiting on surgery as long as I can. Part of me does and part of me says if it’s going to happen, better to get it done and over with than to wait, but I’m truly ambivalent about it now. Once I was absolutely positive that was the best solution and the one that would ultimately make me the most comfortable and happy. Now I don’t know….sigh..I need a crystal ball. Anyone got one I can borrow?

Enough of my bellyaching already! I’m going to have everyone crying in a minute — geez!

I’ll bet Frances is glad right now she’s not the purchasing agent for the Air Force I truly have mixed feelings over their recent contract with France’s Air Bus. I understand it but then again, I understand how all the American workers must feel about it, too when we are in the economic straits we are now. It’s one of those catch 22 situations. No winners are going to come out of this one.

Work today has been work. Still trying to sort out the fallout from last Friday’s hard drive melt down at Eservice and hoping it’s all finally worked out. I’m also fighting some email situations where I don’t think I’m getting some I should be.

So, I suppose that means I should get back with the program and do something to earn my salary.

Love to all,

Margaret
