[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 4128684, member: 7900"] Yesterday, we made a trip to a clinic in Yukon, and I now have an appointment on November 7 to consult with a doctor and start evaluation for knee surgery. The last couple of days or so, I've been carrying my cane when we go shopping or something where I think I might be on my feet a lot. It is helping keep some pressure off of my right knee to where it isn't so painful of an evening after walking on it. I hate using it, but I also hate the pain in the knee. Both knees have issues, so I have no idea how all of this will transpire. We have 3 friends at church that all used this same doctor for knee or hip surgery, and at least two of those three have given good reviews of the doctor, so I have high hopes. Now I just have to get over being skittish about having surgery. In my 77 years, I've had a tendon in a little finger tied back together and cataract surgery, so only two surgeries in all that time.
