Since I had the problem with my elbow I quit the morning workout and morning walk. I don’t know what the morning walk has to do with not walking other than being lazy (maybe it is because Cheri can’t walk and I miss having her with me). Any way I did walk this morning and it felt good. Cheri started a load of laundry and then started calling knee doctor’s to see if she could get an appointment. While she was calling I went down to the park office to have some insurance papers faxed to the insurance company. Well that didn’t happen as the office was closed for the morning. On the way back I talked to a couple of people that have had knee replacements and they told me the best doctor was Doctor Knight. When I got home Cheri was still making calls and had gotten an appointment on Friday with a Doctor Baker. So I told Cheri that she needed to see Doctor Knight. So she called his office and the earliest she could get in was April 10, she told them that she was in a lot of pain, so they told her that if she went to the emergency room that she would be able to get in within 48 hours. So that was the plan but I had to first take Grandma for her doctor’s appointment at 10:30 am. It was near noon when I got home, so we had lunch and headed to the emergency room. We didn’t have to wait too long as within 30 minutes Cheri was having her knee x-rayed. Within hour and a half we were done and ready to leave. The results don’t look good and needs to see the doctor. So when left the hospital we headed over to the doctor’s office to see about getting in. I went in and show them the paper work from the emergency room and they said the earliest she could get in was April 10th. I said when we called in to get the Appointment with doctor Knight we could see him within 48 hours if we went to the emergency room first. She said that it has to be with the doctor that is on call for the day and she said you have an appointment with Doctor Baker on Friday. I said we want to cancel the Doctor Baker appointment so we can see Doctor Knight. Longer story short Cheri is going to see if she can tough it out until April 10th. I dropped Cheri off at home and I headed over to Wal-Mart to get some more ice packs that we can put in the freezer. We had a dinner date with Paul and Bev and didn’t want to cancel with them because they are leaving and heading back north on Sat. After dinner Paul took us for a little ride showing us some park models that are for sale. When we got back to their place we played one game of domino and then Paul gave us a ride home. It was 9:30 pm and Cheri said Dancing with the Stars is on. Oh my I thought that my life was about to end as I didn’t remember setting up the DVR to record the show. So I turned on the TV and sure enough it was recording. So we had to watch it before turning in for the night. It was a long day.
