MRI on the 28th
« Reply #-1 on: May 27, 2013, 09:32:51 AM »
Hey all, been keeping this on the low down till I knew a little more about what was going to happen

On April 15 not only did the Government run over me with taxes, a kid at work ran over me with a Honda Accord. 

Yes, he ran me over and he was not even in the car, he left it in drive and got out of the car.   The car needed an Alt and battery so it was running real bad he got out to when I ask him what was wrong.  He said he jumped it off and it runs like crap! I said hook the jump box back up (not realizing the tires were facing me and the car was still in "D") so he hooked the jump box up and next thing I knew I had a 2007 Accord on top of my left leg.

 My right knee slammed the ground and neither one has been the same since.  So finally Tuesday I will get an MRI on my right knee to see what's going on.  While the left knee still hurts they will only do one at a time go figure.

So please keep me in your thougths till I hear what's going on.   

Thnaks,

Tommy

I'm in the same boat with the taxes Tommy! This whole "Feed the Pig" advertising the government has about saving money makes sense now... They are the pig!

Anyways sorry to hear about you getting run over. Keep us posted.

Thanks guys, bad thing this is the same knee I had worked on las December  :-[

I was hoping I would make it through 2013 without surgery, but looks like I may not. :(   

OH well, I have had something done every year since 2006 (2008 being the only one not to have surgery) so why should this year be any different  ??? ??? ???

Tommy,  Look here, it's obvious what the problem is with the doctor only doing one knee at a time.  You have an Auburn graduate for a doctor and they can do only one thing at a time.  :(  I feel for you. Dee

Tommie,
prayers are with you. this sounds like a workman's comp issue so make sure you get everything you are entitled to and they don't lowball or shortchange you on the level of care.
