Hi,
As many of you as possible ....will you squeeze into my pockets for Friday afternoon.
It's the dreaded day.....the results of my MRI's on both knees.
Normally things like that don't bother me too much but this time I've been in such agony for a few months now that I'm really looking forward to the results.
I'm in more agony than I was before either THR :shock:
As my daughter said to me...."hang on until Friday mam and if I know you once you get the results you'll be fine. You'll know what it is and be able to cope with it
Thanks in advance
Love
Hileena

I wish you the best of luck and hope the MRI will show something that can be rectified not too painfully. New knees might be good, eh?
I will send positive vibes your way but, alas, can't be in your pocket as I have made other exciting arrangements – my last day at Headingley before we move to Scotland; with Mr SW and three good friends; in the Members' Lounge; great views; disabled loos; fantastic disabled viewing areas both inside and out; an addict's heaven .
I hope we both have good days.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Hi Everyone
Firstly....Thanks Sharon.
Hi Sticky I hope you have a fantastic day.....Do you know I hve lost track of your move.....sometime when you have time bring me up to date please.......Thanks
Hi NB, I hope the results will be something that help my pain....Thanks.
Hi Tezz, Thanks for your message
Hi Meg, Thanks......I hope they can do something to ease the pain
Hi Grace.......I will post an update....don't worry
Someone said about new knees Was it you Sticky?
At first when that thought crossed my mind I thought Oh No {After the results of the 2nd THR} but as time went on I've decided if that's what it takes fair enough......I'll have it. Hopefully not.
If once I know what the diagnosis is I'll manage it whereas now I'm up, I'm down, don't know whether I'm coming or going

Not long to wait now. Good luck with it.
(We are Sold STC and just waiting on our buyer's buyer.)If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Hi
An update on my visit to the hospital re MRI results.
Saw my usual consultant Mr Assad and he said the MRI confirmed I had OA in both knees. No surprise there
NB.....I've nearly caught up with you LOL 2 THR's and now OA in knees......no TKR's mentioned yet
I've got to go back next Friday so more pocket duties please.
An aspiration on both knees. He wants to find out why they had to be drained and are now as big as they were before so what is causing it? He wants to check for infection {doesn't think it very likely as I would be sicker and no appetite} also checking for gout and a few other things. I mentioned I had gout a long time ago in one knee but couldn't remember which knee. I said it wasn't a permanent thing. I was on one crutch for a few months and then it seemed to disappear. He said no such thing as gout that is not permanent ......"once gout always gout" it could appear anywhere.
He said "they'll hate me for this" but managed to get me into a clinic he has next Friday which is full but he says there wont be another one for ages.
So that's about it
Love

That sounds like a good appointment, Hileena and he seems very thorough. I'm pleased that he's got you into his clinic next week.
I'll be in your pocket next Friday. I hope things go well. Take care.

My original knees invariably re-filled themselves once drained and no-one thought it remarkable (least of all me ) but maybe RA is different.
I hope you don't have gout and I wish you all the best for next Friday.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Hi
Well looks like your consultant doesn`t like to wait about, which is good for you. I will be in your pocket on Friday, any snack requests?

Hi Meg and Sticky
Yes it was a good appointment and he is always very thorough.
I don't know what I'll do when he retires......don't know when that will be but I would guess he's in his late 60's
He always manage to get me quick appointments and gets to the bottom of things.
Sticky. A friend of mine who ha had 2 replacements, and is a volunteer as well. She used to work in orthopaedics dept until she was retired on the sick {this was her back} She said to me when I had the first drainage did they know what it was? "What you want to know is what was it and will it return and if so why?"
I hadn't thought about that either.
I'll let you know when I find out If yours isn't bothering you I wouldn't bother it
I've had a plate, pins and screws in my ankle where a car reversed, knocked me down and went over it, then drove over it.
Its not bothering me so I don't bother it......that is about 7 years ago now and apart from getting arthritis in it that's all.
They did suggest taking it out but said it could stay quite happile unless it got some infection in it
Love

If yours is a good hospital then when he retires you'll get another good man. Good hospitals attract the best. I've now seen two rheumatologists retire and one leave. They've all been good. In different ways.
As for my knees 'bothering me'. They haven't had fluid on them for 35 years. That's when I got my first TKRs. But I do remember the very large syringe fulls of fluid they used to take off – not with any great affectionIf at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

You can pop me in for Friday xHe did not say you will not be storm tossed, you will not be sore distressed, you will not be work weary. He said you will not be overcome.

Hi NB
Sorry you "snuck" in when I wasn't looking He is good nd wont let things wait. He wants to get to the bottom of everything as quickly as he can.
Snacks......anything sweet and vegetarian
Love
Hileena0 -
Thanks Sticky
That's comforting to know that you have seen off 3 Rheumatologists in your time
Seriously it is comfort. I imagine him going and getting a horrible one.
Oh well that's a long time since they were last drained so you're OK
I don't think it did much good when he drained mine although there was a massive amount came out in the syringe

Sorry I missed your last appointment, had a hell of a week (3 day migraine!) But will definitely be with you for this next one if you can squeeze me in your pocket. (())'s0
