Went to the Dr Today

 and he said that yes, I will be ready to go back to work on the last date he gave me....

which is August 6, the last day of my holidays, lol!!

He said my both my knees were kinda loose but my bad one felt good enough that I should be able to take the brace off....start doing it around the house and then progress from there. The way it feels now though, I think I may need a tensor bandage on it though when I go back to work....though that's two weeks away so it might be fine by then  It just that my knee still feels a little squishy when I walk, lol!!

Mike, believe it or not is still waiting to be booked for another MRI....it was almost 8 weeks ago that they did the x-ray that the dr looked at and thought he didn't like the looks of it....so for all that time it may have been healing wrong!!! The waiting in this system is crazy unless you are admitted to the hospital it seems!!  We have to go all the way back to Ottawa (a six hour round trip) to do the MRI and hopefully she will be able to book us an appt with the surgeon there at the same time.

Seeing as how we were in the city, we went looking for cars or vans, whichever we found first and we found a green Ford Taurus that was right up our alley and within our finances, lol! Comes certified and e-tested and it should be ready tomorrow or Friday 
Well, that was painless, as I can't believe we found one that fast, lol!!
Plus I called to put the insurance on it today and they said they will send an adjustor out to look at the van so we may get some $ for it after all 

All in all it was a good day....thank goodness, cuz I've been feeling overwhelmed thinking about it all
