On Tuesday I get a call from a buddy telling me there's a wagon at our local bone-yard just like my beater & I thought "Cool, I can get some of those missing pieces & maybe some extra's". So I get down there & see the car & decided yeppers I could use a few parts . I grabbed a few pieces & knelt down to check the power seat units(mine are dead) and asked my buddy to pull his truck around in front of the car to jump it to check the power seat motors. I go to stand up & my left knee went SNAP-CRACKLE-POP and locked into place I hobbled around for a bit to try & pop it back into place(yes this has happened before to me) I finally bent over grab behind my knee & moved it around a bit & it went POP-CRACKLE-SNAP Hurt like holy hell and yessss I did use some colorful language but at least now I could walk a bit better. Needless to say my knee swelled up like the size of a bigg cantaloupe and was squishy, oh joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

I'm lucky enough to have a great referral lady in my primary care doctors office & w/one phone call she got me into see my knee doctor today rather then next Thursday. They took a bunch of X-rays and the doctor said........
Joe we need to drain that knee now & w/that they gave me some shots & drain off 2 HUGEEEE syringes full of blood out of my knee. That part didn't bother me at all, matter of fact it made my knee feel a lot better.
The part I didn't like is when the doctor said................
We need to replace both your knees you're basically bone to bone on both knees

I told him I wasn't to thrilled to here that & asked to have just the cortisone injections for now(which he was going to do anyway) & that I would have to think about having the knees done anything soon. With everything that has been going on around here & the health Denise is in right now, this old mule doesn't need any more burden to carry.

All I can ask is WISH ME LUCK......................joe

Large Marge is once again on hold again unless someone wants to come by & do some cutting & welding for me.
I need to lengthen a truck frame for project. I even burn some pig, cow or whatever & have some icy cold ones ready for you
