Well, I haven't been around much for a little bit. It's been quite overwhelming since just shortly before Christmas. I went to a new Orthopedist to see what he would or would not do about my right knee. I have been bone on bone for approximately 3 years and had lost most of my ability to walk due to this.
My new Orthopedist is simply awesome. That first visit he said "your knee is severe" yes I know. "no, it's really severe." He asked if I wanted a new knee or continue injections...new knee please
My surgery was January 27th and home early afternoon on the 28th. I am in PT. My index and thumb (both hands) have gone numb.
This is the first time MS has ever shown it's self after a surgery or procedure. I have not called my Neurologist because, well, as we all know the only thing that "might" be done is steroids and steroids aren't know to help numbness.
On Dec. 30, which is my now 30 year old son's birthday was the day he was diagnosed with Diabetes. He went from being put on Metformin to being told he needed to go on Insulin in just less than a week. He has now been referred to a Endocrinologist with his Drs. telling him he might be Type 1 diabetic. Type one is autoimmune
So there you have it, my life shortly before Christmas.
