I kept my appoint with Dr. Kelley's office on Oct. 2 and was seen by Jamie Messersmith, his PA. I still did not schedule surgery, but something Jamie said really got my attention: "When you are tired of putting on knee braces and all the other things you do, it may be time."
Yes, I am tired of knee braces, the creams, oils shots, you name it. Jamie said that all I need to do to schedule surgery is call.
I have a knock knee. It's my right one. It's become unbearable and I wouldn't dare go camping like I used to do last year. I'm self conscious of it. It makes my leg look somewhat deformed. I am depressed about this.
And I'm still kind of freaked out by the surgery, the rehab, the recuperation. If I could recoup in the Bahamas, it would be great. I doubt if that could happen. Deep breath. All will be fine.
On the matter of knock knees, I found this article.
