Actually beside the reasons I've stated for me wanting to work, I think some of you have overlooked the part I mentioned about my orthopedic specialist telling me that activity like working around a busy office is exactly what she wants me to do to keep the ligaments, and muscles around my knee from (ligaments) losing their memory and (muscles) from atrophying in my quadriceps, and calf in particular..
If I chose to I could go at least a year without drawing an income and it wouldn't have a substantial effect on me financially. No reason to suck life out of ”The Great State of California” on this one, I've already won! :angel:

It makes perfect sense that your orthopedic specialist told you to keep moving. When I hurt ligaments in my ankle a couple of years ago I always found that getting up in the morning was the worst. I would wake up and limp around until the muscles had loosened enough for me to walk propely. I still coundn't wear heels for a year but you probably wont have such problems. :p Moving around helps limits to some extent the injury from morphing into other bigger ailments. For example my ancke injury travelled up the leg and resulted in knee pain as the knee was conpensating for the dodgy ankle. Your dodgy knee may easily travel up to the hip if you dont help yourself to a certain degree.
:stareup: Thanks GG, you have been most helpful. I must admit that I'm a little surprised at the agressive nature of my treatment, but this Dr. is very adament about doing it this way. She is very thorough, and am completely comforftable with her plan!
Taz , they had me walking right off the gurney a few years ago when they went into my knee with the arthroscope(sp) .
It's a good idea for sure , to keep moving .
But , it's also a good moment in time to milk it .
A little sympathy can result in things like massage , and favourite foods being served .
Make sure you give yourself some time to heal . Hee hee .
Not to worry my friend, I lawyered up today. :smokin: :angel:Quote:

If you are hurting , let those around you know it .
If someone asks how you are doing , tell them , even at the risk of sounding like a whiner , because a witness can be anyone you meet . There's money at stake .
Heal fast , man .

Around here personal lawsuits against another insured driver is not permitted. That’s what the insurance is for.
