Hi!
Hi, Margie! I hope everything went well with your knee. I've needed a total right knee replacement since last August, but haven't had it done yet. Probably in June or July. I'm going to have Lap Band weightloss surgery on 4/10, so, hopefully, this will make the knee surgery heal better and save me from having to have the left one done. Even though I'm unable to work right now, I never considered that I am disabled. Am I qualified? Take care for now.
Val

YOU SHOULD BE QUALIFIED
HI VAL..WELCOME TO OUR GROUP..MY FIRST PROBLEM WAS WITH MY RIGHT KNEE AND I WAITED FOR 3 YEARS BEFORE I HAD SURGERY BUT NOT BY CHOICE..I APPLIED FOR DISABILITY AND MEDICAID..ONCE THE MEDICAID WAS APPROVED I HAD SURGERY AND SOON AFTER THAT THEY APPROVED MY DISABILITY..THE PROCESS TOOK NEARLY 5 YEARS AND I DO NEED THE LEFT ONE DONE TOO..NO CARTILAGE LEFT AT ALL..BUT SINCE I HAVE HAD SO MANY DIFFICULTIES WITH THE RIGHT ONE I AM NOT RUSHING TO GET IT DONE..MORE THAN LIKELY MY WEIGHT HAS AFFECTED THE KNEE REPLACEMENT..IT'S BETTER TO LOSE WEIGHT IF YOU CAN..BECAUSE IT DOES PUT LESS STRESS ON THE KNEE JOINT ALL AROUND..AND WOULD HELP YOUR ABILITY TO DO THERAPY..THERE IS APPX. 8 WEEKS OF THERAPY AND IT IS NO FUN AT ALL..YOU CAN CALL THE SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE NEAR YOU AND TELL THEM YOU WANT TO APPLY FOR DISABILITY.. THEY CAN GET YOU GOING..KEEP IN MIND THAT IF YOU ARE APPROVED FOR DISABILITY THE FIRST 2 YEARS IS A WAITING PERIOD THAT YOU WILL NOT BE PAID FOR WHEN THEY GIVE BACK PAY..AND YOU WILL BE TURNED DOWN SEVERAL TIMES BUT ALWAYS IMMEDIATELY ASK FOR A HEARING..OR YOU WILL LOSE THE TIME YOU HAVE WAITED ..YOU HAVE 60 DAYS TO APPEAL..MAKE SURE YOU DO IT IN TIMEAND EVEN THEN YOU MAY WANT TO GET AN ATTORNEY..THIS PROCESS IS MEANT TO DISSAUDE PEOPLE WHO AREN'T REALLY DISABLED..THEY WILL PROBABLY TELL YOU THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO BUT IN MY CASE I WASN'T QUALIFIED FOR ANYTHING THAT WOULD PAY MY BILLS..SO I WENT TO COLLEGE AND AM STILL THERE..RETRAINING..IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU NEED HELP WITH ..JUST LET ME KNOW..HAVE A GOOD DAY...OH.. ONE OTHER THING YOU MIGHT WANT TO ASK YOUR ORTHOPEDIST IS.. DUE TO MORE DIFFICULTY IN FIGHTING INFECTIONS AFTER A KNEE REPACEMENT..IS IT ADVISABLE TO DO THE 2 SURGERIES SO CLOSE TOGETHER?...IT MAY BE FINE..BUT I'D DEFINITELY ASK..GOODLUCK.. PUNKIN

ABOUT ME..SURGERY COMIN UP..
HI EVERYONE.. I JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER SURGERY ON MY RIGHT KNEE..I HAD IT REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO AND AM HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH IT NOW....EVIDENTLY THE BONE IS SPLINTERING AND NEEDS TO BE REINFORCED WITH A STEEL BAND..SO N A WEEK, I WILL HAVE THAT DONE...IT SHOULD BE A SIMPLE PROCEDURE AND HOPEFULLY I WILL ONLY BE IN THE HOSPITAL FOR A DAY OR TWO..YOU WON'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO MISS ME HERE..BUT AS FOR THE OTHER KNEE ..I AM NOT CONSIDERING THAT REPLACEMENT UNTIL I SEE THIS ONE WORKING WELL ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY HAVING IT DONE... SO IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU WOULD JUST SAY A PRAYER FOR ME THAT ALL GOES WELL...TAKE CARE AND HAVE A GOOD WEEK..THANKS MARGIE
