And I am sooooo ready! The bad knee is holding up my therapy and I'm getting a lot of swelling and pain from it. Worse this last few days with TS Debby hanging around here - but we finally have sunshine today!

I still have some swelling with the new knee but it gets better the more I walk. And of course, the bad knee keeps me from walking as much as I'd like, so the sooner I get it done, the happier I will be.

Now to see how the insurance company will handle it - they tried to weasel out of paying the hospital bill and I had to get on their case. I still don't know how much I will have to pay out of pocket!
