Well, that shows a really nice and caring doctor. I can only try to imagine how you are feeling, sweetheart. You are the darling of this forum and we'll all be praying for you, thinking of you and rooting for you like mad until this is done. Big hugs from the UK, sweetie!

 

[Judles]

And from the US!!! What on earth would Bonesmart be without Kim?????? (0)

Kim, you KNOW all your BoneSmarty friends will pour on the prayers for you. After all, having this over for you is what WE'VE wanted all along too!

I'm so happy that your doctor was able to schedule you quickly for the procedure. It WILL be over soon and you can start to move forward with your life. I think you'll be amazed at how much more "human" you feel when you get that "android" out of your knee. It has partied in there much too long as it is!

God bless you for being assertive when you needed to be. And God bless your new doctor and his staff for doing the follow-through necessary to unscrew all your insurance stuff. Sometimes it does take a whole team effort, doesn't it!

Speaking of team....we gotcha covered. The entire BoneSmart nation is on your side!! :gphg:

Kim,
Finally some progress is in the works! You will be in my thoughts and prayers that all goes well and you will be on the road to recovery immediately after surgery. Hopefully it will be an entirely different experience. Keep us posted.

 

[FrogFeathers]

You have my best wishes for the surgery. It will all be better when its over, and now you know what you have to do!

Here's a dancing smiley... which is where you'll be in no time. :D

 

[kimberlyann]

Hip Hip Hooray!!!!
Oh, what wonderful news. It will be over before you know it and this will all be a distant memory. I can imagine the fog you are in, and it is understandable. Just keep floating toward November 4 and you will be in recovery before your feet hit the floor.

I hope this new doctor or doctor(s) know what a great deal of love we have for them for rescuing you from this terrible situation. Always when I am wishing you were saved from this, I am wishing that some smart doctor would do the rescuing. Well, they are!

Hugs and kisses and shouts of joy for you. I know you aren't thrilled for the surgery and aftermath, but it is what will deliver you from this prison of pain and immobility.

Happy, happy , happy news to be sure.

Way to go Kim!!!!!!!
You will be dancing by New Years (Slow dancing!!! LOL) Do not be afraid just look what happen for me!!! Good things are going to happen for us now!!! It is Our turn!!!

 

[Pat29627]

Wonderful! It will be wonderful to have the new knee! You've got so much experience that this time it will be much easier.

Hehehehe, the surgeon will look behind him in the operating room and see dozens of BoneSmarties standing there shaking our pompoms.

 

[Oldie]

Kim, I have been following your saga, and I am so happy that now you will get it all finally resolved and be on the way to a brand new you. Sounds like you have the best dr., the kind that takes the time to explain is the best! My prayers will be with you and sending you good vibes. You will be fine by XMas,and will really be able to enjoy it!

Glad you got a date...understand your being scared. I couldn't talk to anyone for a couple of days when I found out I needed mine.

But we need you back here with a good leg and feeling better! Two Drs.-- they will get it done and you ask for those pain pills and then you will be set! Well, I know it's not that easy, but we will be here and make sure you get through it!!!!:thmb:
