Dr purr requests of my own
It seems that I've been asking for a lot of purrs lately. Sorry about
that, but I need to ask again. My family doc referred me to an ortho surgeon for my knee injury. He believed that I had torn the meniscus cartilage in my knee, and the surgeon agrees. The surgeon wants me to go in for an MRI to see if there is any other damage. I am gainfully employed, in a decent job. I have medical insurance - medical insurance that is considered by many to be pretty good. But even with my insurance, the MRI and surgery will cost me over $1500. That is simply obscene. I can't afford this now. Nancy and I don't have that kind of cash on hand. We will have in a just a few months, so I'm going to wait til then. The purrs I am asking for are that I can avoid doing something dumb and injuring my knee any worse. Dan |

Being a victim of medical malpractice when the idiot doctor torn that very thing you described doing a simple operation to fix basically water on the knee. I know how you feel. Keep that knee wrapped. I wore a knee pad over it under my pants to keep idiots from bumping in to me or me doing something stupid Have they been giving you cortisone shots and got you on an anti-inflammatory medication. Do they have you physical therapy? Cortisone shots? No. Anti-inflamatorys? Over-the-counters seem to be doing pretty well for me. PT? No, not yet. |

Sure wish you didn't need to put this off, but it sounds like there are lots of other things going on that make waiting not a bad idea. Dumb things include shoveling snow. Trying to push a car out of a ditch. Basically trying to play superman. If you do something to make it worse, at least try to do it on the job. Jo |

Purrs, lots of 'em, for the best outcome. |

that sucks, knowing how this feels I will pray for you along with the purrs,
I had physical therapy for mine, but I refused surgery couldn't handle the thought of another surgery... make sure to ask the Roth if PT might help in the meantime, Lee Daniel Mahoney wrote in message ...

Dan I'm sorry Dan, and I agree that is obscene. We're in the same boat. Blue Cross and Blue Shield just doesn't pay like they used to. But usually it takes so long for the insurance/hospital to sort things out. I had my stent in mid-Sept., and still haven't gotten the final bill yet. Sometimes it takes 4-6 months for them to finally decide what I owe. Maybe you could get the surgery done sooner? Sherry Sherry |

We will purr and pray mightily that you don't injure
your knee further until you can get it fixed. How about going on some sort of scheduled payment with the doctor or hospital? I'm sure they have something like that for those who can't afford to pay a large amount in one lump sum. God bless.

Dan Dan my right knee gave me trouble from the time I was 17 years old. I am very old now but I had a total knee replacement about 12 years ago. I can truthfully say it is the best joint in my body. The operation is painful bur the knee seems to heal faster than a hip. Best wishes for your problems. MLB |
