The patello-femoral joint :

TTT Monday, Thanks everyone - - Posted by sjugradgirl (sjugradgirl), 22 January 2005

Well,
My big day is coming. ( along with a huge snow storm this weekend).  I have to be at the hospital at 9:30 am. I am 99.87% sure that they will be keeping me over night and to keep an eye on me the day after surgery since I will be home a lone.

But I just want to say a big thank you to all of you who have answered my many many questions and addressed my concerns and offered words of advice and tokens of friendship.

I can't even begin  to thank all of you. This board has totally helped me be able to cope with all of this.   I work with toddlers and spend most of my day on the floor. Because of the injury (that happened at work) I am on workers compensation and unable to return until I am 100%  better. I have NO idea of when that will be.  Until then I am knitting and will be donating the knitted blankets to long term patients at the childrens hospital.  And ofcourse I will be on here CONSTANTLY chatting with y'all and keepin up with my post op diary and photo diary.

So, once again, thank you again. with out this board and all the great people on here, i probably would have torn my hair out by now.

Love you all!
Have a great weekend.

I'm a few days behind ya, I'm scheduled for an AMZ on Friday!  Hoping some of this snow melts (or blows away!) before then!

Take care, be careful and most of all, keep a positive attitude!
