I had two orthopedic appointments yesterday - the first one at 8 am for my knee -(the jell injections)- well Dr. Stu said everything is wonderful and it looks like I don't need to get another round of injection (not just yet) - he wants to see me in 3 months for a follow up - OH I WAS SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT - I can actually walk and not feel the pain.

Well, the second orthopedic appointment was at 3 pm - I went to see the orthopedic in PA that is treating my carpal tunnel? well that one didn't go to well. After a month of PT my hand isn't getting any better, so they have scheduled me for surgery on December 18.

So, I now am going to have to fast forward all my Christmas stuff. Gotta put up the tree, decorate the house (thank GOD DH and I did the outside lights this past weekend) - got most of my shopping done, haven't even started the cards yet, I just haven't found time - will start wrapping everything this weekend.

I feel bad for poor MissSMIG, since I have to cook on Christmas Eve and will be only one handed (and my dominant hand will be all bandaged up), she will be making her first turkey - I will supervise as much as I can.

Oh! I am happy that I am getting the surgery, but scared at the same time?

Wonderful to hear that you aren't having knee pain! I'll pray that surgery goes well and recovery goes quick. As long as you have someone you love, the holidays will be wonderful. Have fun getting ready for Christmas. The faster it's done the faster you can enjoy it, right!!!
