SECOND OPINION...

Well I did get a second opinion on my knee and it wasn't very favorable.  This knee of mine has hurt since I had it operated on  a year and a half ago.  I finally got sick of it and went to see another doctor after my insurance approved it.  As I thought, the partial knee replacement should not have been done and it should have been a full knee replacement.  Now I have to go through the whole painful thing again to hopefully get it right.  The ex ray showed the current knee cap was on crooked and the metal was pushing up against the outside  Whether the previous doctor did that or it happened with a fall I took several months ago, I don't know.  All I do know it hurts and is getting worse.

Since I have so much going on I have to plan the timing very carefully.  When I told Desi he thought I should come up to LA to see one of his doctors.  He has had enough surgeries, being an old football player, plus he volunteered with them. so has an in.  I can't do LA.  I would be out of my comfort zone and I'd be up there alone.  I'm sure he wouldn't be aroundwith his busy schedule. So I'm scheduling this horrible thing the end of November, if I can. This way I'll have my friends around that can help.  I have already talked to my pet sitter and she will come to feed the cats twice a day.

The dating sites have been busy with lots of very complimentary emails, just not from men that I want to see.  My older man is in San Diego handling lots of problems.  I have found, for some reason, be it the economy or whatever, that most of the men I talk to have beau coup problems. They are all are trying to reinvent themselves.  My one male friend, and that is what he is, a friend, blew through six million dollars and lost everything.  He is frantically trying to regroup at seventy one. These are bright articulate men but this climate takes no prisoners.  I wish we could all go back before 2007 and have a chance for a do over.

Desi's birthday is today.  His sons, the three of them, came from all over the country, to take him to the Angels/Yankees games this weekend. One of the sons clients gave him box seating so they will be there for three games this weekend, in style. I sent him a text this morning wishing him a Happy Birthday and received a nice email back thanking me and saying he would see me soon. He also asked me to send him my birthday date again, he wanted to plan something.  Again, we'll see what happens with that one.

I've been home with not much going on, so I will add things as they happen.  Hopefully things will be a little more interesting next week.

I did take my grandson (step) to dinner on Wednesday night.  He is sixteen and such a sweetie.  I asked hm if there was anything in the world he could change what would it be?  His answer was, " I would have Papa not die."  My ex husband would love that one.

Off for the night to watch t.v....so exciting.
