  13. And my surgery was cancelled. So devastated....

      He won't do the surgery on me until my physical therapy for my knee is complete and my ortho clears me. This also means most of the tests will have to be redone since it will be 2+ months from now. He said by then, it will be late January/February and he will be able to tell me if he has any dates available then. :-(

  14. Meeting with surgeon didn't go too well. He needs clearance from my ortho as to whether I can have the surgery on the 11th or it will be postponed until February 28th. Just not feeling it today :-(

      I met with her yesterday before the surgeon appointment. She did give the thumbs up and only told me to pass by my surgeon any restrictions he may have with physical therapy. My surgeon just went on a whole tangent about lawsuits and how I'm not taking care of my body.... my knee dislocation was obviously done on purpose to sabotage his career lol
