So happy you are going to see an orthopedic for this pain.  Hope the meds relax you enough to kill the pain and get rest too.  The bills should not be a worry at this moment, getting you well should.  But I do see your point, we all worry about them.  Hope the rest of your week is pain free....hugs and love,
Joyce

Your knee if its too bad will most likely have to have sergury but no one knows except the doctors. even the best doctors make the worst mistakes. Lol i wear a heart moniter 24/7 its not to bad i just think of it as a lonly dog that wont go away.

Good luck with everything and i bet your doc will help you find another arthritis doctor.  They are usually pretty good about that and from  what you said, he sounds like a nice helpful doctor :) I would call his office and it's possible even the nurse can help you out.  Take care and good to see your getting some pain free rest.

I'm glad you got a little pain relief.  I've had total knee replacements in both knees and it was the best thing I ever did for myself.  That may be the best course of action for you.  Forget the bills, just get fixed up and then you can deal with the bills.  Praying for you.
Hugs, Joyce

Cute graphics Amanda. Your family doctor should be able to get you in with another doctor. Your family doctor should be able to make the appointment and they will be able to look at you... then if they think another specialist should see you they will make you a appointment. Do you know anyone that has the problem you have? Have they had good luck with surgery and etc. I like to ask around about a doctor. We will pray that the breathing thing will be alright, ok? Maybe once your cold is over you will breath alright. They sell flowers in a little bag at our grocery store (Dillons) maybe Gary could pick you up a little bag... put some fresh flowers in your room... make things look brighter. :-)  They only cost about $5 at our store. Keeping you in my prayers. Hugs, Janie
