My revision knee will be one year old on Tuesday December 2. I guess in January I'll start pressing the issue of ROM again, or should I say lack of it! This hip pain wears me down though.
Btw Sonja...was the party still going when you got there? I lol when I think of that silly flight! Not even water!!!!!!
Bonnie, your OS won't look at your knee in December? He needs to do something before the end of the year, that way your insurance won't hassle you as much as you having the deductible at the beginning of the new year. I know you are tired, but after Dec 2nd, try and get him to make a decision.
I will be praying for you. You will be on my prayer list!
As for "Spirit" or El' Cheapo airlines, they advertise as a no frills airline, and boy are they right! They claim that taking extra water on board will add unnecessary weight to the plane! I have news for them! They also brag about getting "comfy" with your neighbors, and the people in front of you. This is because they are taking older planes, and jamming more rows into each one! If the person in front of you wants to recline, heaven help your knees! My right knee got smacked before we ever left the ground, by this large lady who reclined her seat. That wasn't the worst! She kept tossing and turning during the duration of the flight, and kept smacking my knees!
Meanwhile, the couple next to me, no not Mom and Sis because we had to pay extra to choose our seats, used me as a doorstop. She was putting her head on her husbands shoulder, and sliding under the arm of my chair. She kept moving trying to get comfy as well!
So, I am trying to figure out; how does carrying water and beverages AND snacks for PURCHASE, plus adding additional rows to a worn out plane, make the plane weigh LESS?
Oops, I forgot about the party! We flew up late, because the crew couldn't get to their flight on time in Chicago, so we were even later! We made a grand entrance, saw everyone for an hour, ate, went to cousins for a couple of hours, and then had a horrible night in the hotel, only to wake up at 4:00 am this morning to fly back to Houston.
At least I got a nap before I typed this, because I might have said how I really felt about Spirit Airlines and the extra they were trying to charge me that I had already paid for, to carry on my duffle bag!
I read more and they are adding more jets to their fleet! They claim they are new; well maybe, when one of the other carriers was in its infancy! Both planes going up and back, were worn out. We kept hearing strange noises, and I just thought; well at least we got away! I think they must pick up old planes and slap a coat of paint on them. They wanted US to clean the plane by getting out the used tissues that were in the seat back pocket from other travelers! Not this woman! More hand sanitizer please!
The flight attendants have one of the easiest jobs. They don't bother checking to see if people are using seat belts, and they might come if the call light comes on.
Something else I hadn't seen since they instituted the safety of the people in 1991; the pilots took turns going to the restroom, while a flight attendant "guarded" the front! If someone wanted to bring that plane down, they could have blown right by her and into the cockpit!
Now, for my rating of Spirit Airlines between 1-10.......... LOL
A 0
I love that company....it's based here in Olathe and we know folks that work there. It is a fabulous employer! And they make good stuff too.....
United States
I know this is extremely discouraging and I hope the doctor can bring you relief! I care about you my friend!
