I need more than physical therapy

Went to St. George for physical therapy this morning. Same work out and it just doesn't seem to be helping so I called Dr Haslam and asked if he would order an MRI on my left knee so we can get to the bottom of what's wrong. I have to rely on their good graces since I don't have insurance it's just a gimme from the hospital. They have done so much and are very accommodating due to the cancer issue just hope they help me out with this. My guess is that it's a torn meniscus and my left knee will have to be scoped but I guess we will wait and see. I just want to be able to walk right again. I'm tired of the pain. The good news is it seems to really be helping my hip so added bonus. They think both are caused from the neuropathy in my feet making me walk funny and throwing my gate off.

Funny cause they have me work out on an underwater treadmill and it has a camera that films you from your waist down and projects it onto a TV screen above the pool. When I asked why they did that they said so they could look at how you walk and analyze and see if it is something in your gate that may be causing the problem. With that said in all my therapy sessions in the pool I have yet to see any therapist look at the TV and try to use it as a diagnostic tool, and there are lots of people in the pool using it not just me . It's like most things with people just going thru the motions. Don't get me wrong, I am very thankful for their help and they have been so wonderful to me but it's just an observation that most of the things we can all do to really help are sidelined from lack of interest. So as it is I get to go see my fat become buoyant and jiggle underwater projected on the wall for all to see. Great.

Came home and helped Raul paint some window trim over at Cha's . It is looking really good. Raul has done a lot of work stained her cabinets and painted the outside. Later this week he is re-skirting the house. Nice she has someone to help her for a change.

Got to text back and forth with Cliff more than usual today they are just sitting on location in North Dakota waiting for the engineer to come analyze data before they can frac. If we had half the money that company wastes we would be rich. Guess it shows how much money there is in the gas and oil industry just by how much they waste.
