And here we go again?

I went to the surgeon for my checkup appointment today since it has been six days since the surgery. I thought the stitches were to come out today, but he said nope not time yet. So now I have to miss some work next Tuesday to go back to get the stitches out. That's okay I guess. But then they tried to schedule me for August 19th to do the other knee. Now I'm concerned, very concerned. Last week I went in for a total knee replacement and got a scope repair. This time I am going in for a scope repair and afraid it will turn into a total knee. So I don't know what to do now. I want to do it before I hurt the first one again, but I don't want to do it till the first one heals some more. I also don't want to wait and run into ice and snow and slipping and sliding with my walker if he does the total knee. So what do I do? Come on, God, you know you are control on this one. You know you will change my plans as needed. So please, God, just help me make the right plans to start with. Thanks. Will you all pray for me too?

nda, I am so sorry for your frustration and concerns over what decision to make. Do you think the doctor based his decision because of insurance? I know the insurance companies are very picky about replacements. Do you feel any relief at all? Tell the doctor you want it now and preferr not to wait because of pain- age ect. since he said you needed it. I will cont. to pray. Dee
