This crud sucks if I can say so . Took 5 yrs to get my vacation time up which I was going to use to see my girlfriend in the Philippines and hopefully tie the knot. Yeah you all don't know about that . Lol
COVID hasn’t helped either . so yeah my left knee has been hurting for years on and off which we thought was just scare tissue which it could have been .
so at work climbing up into the dump truck my knee pops sideways and that was that .
thought Workmans comp would cover it but no . I still went through there process for a week and half . I didn’t get to see the X-rays from urgent care. They actually said I can go back to work light duty .
my work only gives light duty to special well liked people of which I am not . Lol
I told workers comp that I need my knee doctor to look at this from the start of which I was waiting for approval. So on Friday driving in to get checkup from workers comp they called and broke the news they eont cover it .
ok so now my doc comes into play . There only open half days on Friday so I had to wait to Monday and begged to get in . My doc was booked solid so I got a PA . He came with the X-rays and I could see that the pad or fake Meniscus popped out which I knew because the joint when I walked sounded like windshield wipers scraping across a dry windshield. Lol
ok so the pad actually was imbedded into my calf muscle below the joint . Ouch !!!
The PA said he needs to go get the Doc unknown to him he had time to see me after all.
First words out of his mouth was , You again ! Second set of words were Friday Surgery .
Took them about 15 to minutes to dig the old spacer out of my calf . They also noticed that the core of my tendons were gray not white and then realized the top part of the implant was broke free of the bone . Ouch ouch !!! Lol
lucky thing was the joint rep was there possibly to see what went wrong with it or just by luck . At any rate the luck was he had a replacement on hand .
ok do there we have it . Out of work and not happy and why me etc etc .
I had a good time in the hospital with the nurses and with PT actually got to lead a class . Lol
