HAPPY DAY

[aletalete]

Aletalete, Was the day a great day, did you feel like dancing?

OMG - YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED TODAY.

I WENT FOR PHYSIOTHERAPY FOR MY KNEE FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY AS I AM UNABLE TO STAND COMPLETELY UNTIL MY KNEE SNAPS INTO PLACE. IT IS A PAINFUL SITUATION AND THE SNAP IS AUDIBLE TO OTHERS SOMETIMES. IT ALSO CAUSES ME TO BE SELF-CONSCIENTIOUS WHEN OTHERS WATCH ME ATTEMPTING TO STAND IN RESTUARANTS AND IN THE GENERAL PUBLIC. SOMETIMES I MOVE MY KNEE AROUND AND AROUND UNTIL IT POPS INTO PLACE. THIS IS SOME BACKGROUND ON MY KNEE.

I HAVE NO HEALTH INSURANCE, ONLY MEDICARE. I AM VERY LOW INCOME SINCE I NO LONGER WORK SO THAT I CAN TAKE CARE OF MY MOTHER WHO HAS ALTZHEIMERS. I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $40 PER VISIT (WHICH WOULD NOT BE FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE FOR ME) AND FOUND WHEN I GOT THERE I ONLY HAD TO PAY BETWEEN $15-$18 WHICH WAS DOABLE. I WAS SO HAPPY.

UPON SPEAKING AT LENGTH WITH THE RECEPTIONIST, SHE LOWERED THE AMOUNT I HAVE TO PAY TO $5.00. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS BLOWN AWAY. MY GOD HAS AGAIN TAKEN CARE OF MY NEEDS SO I CAN TAKE CARE OF MY MOTHER. THEY ALSO TOLD ME TO GET ANOTHER SCRIPT FROM MY DOCTOR FOR THE OTHER LEG AS IT IS CROOKED FROM THE ARTHRITIS (AND I LIMP BECAUSE OF IT) SO THEY CAN WORK ON BOTH AT THE SAME TIME FOR THE SAME PRICE.

IF I WERE ABLE TO BE DANCING IN THE STREET, I SURELY WOULD HAVE. BUT AS IT STANDS, I AM SO HAPPY TO GET THERAPY I CAN AFFORD.

PRAISE BE GOD: HE IS MY LORD AND SAVIOR. IT WAS A FANTASTIC DAY! CAN'T WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW.
