pontalba Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Oh, Gawd. Sorry you're going through all that with this knee. Miserable. All fingers and toes crossed that the two weeks in the doc's office does the trick and no more surgery is needed. I'd hoped you were driving about, tearing up the countryside. But fear not, that day will come!! Quote
Athena Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Wow Julie, I'm so sorry about your complications . I hope your knee gets better soon and that you don't need any more surgery. I wish you the best of recovery and hope you feel better soon . Quote
Devi Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 That knee better make itself better or else it will have me to answer too! I really do hope it fixes itself in the two weeks, will be keeping my fingers, toes, legs and arms crossed for you! Quote
pontalba Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Hey Julie......I hope the knee is improving, as ordered! Let us know how you're doing. Sending all the good vibes to you! Quote
Little Pixie Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Sending you some best wishes, Julie ! Quote
Athena Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Julie, I hope you're doing okay . I just noticed your new avatar, it's very cute! I just bought an owl doorstopper yesterday. Quote
Devi Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) I echo everyones thoughts here, hope you are doing okay. Love your avatar! Edited September 21, 2014 by Devi Quote
frankie Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Just caught up with your thread, I'm so sorry to hear about your health problems It must be really frustrating to have gotten an allergic reaction to the meds and then feel so ill because of the meds you got to counteract the previous meds. And the knee problems! Try to keep your chin up, Julie, you're going through difficult times but things are bound to get better sooner or later! Quote
julie Posted September 21, 2014 Author Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Hi gang I'm back . Been stopping in to read posts here and there ,but haven't been much replying to any of them lately . The therapy is going well and the knee is "almost " where it needs to be . Dr apt this coming Friday so I'm hoping he will say good enough and leave it alone . 8 weeks of therapy and I've had enough . My new (used) car broke 3 weeks after getting it, so it's been a fiasco trying to get it repaired. I think we took it to a bunch of SCHEISTERS who gave me a line of crap regarding it . I'm assuming most ladies are like me and know very little about car engines, etc . but even I picked up on some of their lines. They tried to tell me that I wasn't driving it properly and that a car like mine is not meant to drive to the grocery store at 35 mph once a week, it's meant to take out on the highway and FLOOR IT . ( apparently it can go pretty fast, but I drive like an old lady and never go over 50 .) My husband told me they were just telling me that and it's not true ,and I've only had the car 3 weeks before it broke ,so I doubt my little old lady driving is what broke it . To make a long story short, they had the car 9 days, refused to give me a loaner car ,so I had to rent one ( A LOT OF MONEY for 9 days ) ,then they told me Friday that they put some parts on, it didn't fix it and they wanted to put MORE parts on. Seeing that our bill was already over ONE THOUSAND BUCKS , and that it needed FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE WORK . I told them give me the keys, I will take it home . It's drive-able but still broken ,so we are dropping it off tonite at a local guy who works on this brand of car . He said that the dealer where I took it was a crook and that none of the things they mentioned were broken . He also advised me to stop payment on the check, which I did. Not sure if that was a wise idea . I'll log on from the Jail Library if I can and let you know . Anyhow, on the Reading Front, I've finished a few more books --will list them below and on my 1st post ,with just the ratings beside them . Any questions just ask I hope you are all doing well, healthy and happy and finding lots of good books to read !

Chrissy Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Thanks for the update Julie. I hope that your knee gets a good report at the doctor's appointment. I also hope that the lying dirt bag car non-fixer gets his comeuppance at some stage in his miserable lying cheating life. I HATE it when people take advantage like that. Grrrr. Quote
Athena Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 I'm glad you're doing allright, Julie . I hope your knee gets a good report too. I'm sorry to hear about your car and the crooks . I hope they will have some bad luck later in their life, like Chrissy I also really dislike people like that. I hope your car will get fixed with the other guy for not too much money. I'm glad you've been doing some nice reading . Quote
pontalba Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Great to see ya, Julie! Glad the knee is doing so much better! I've been thinking about you. Oh, man, I can believe it about the mechanic, they can be absolute killers. Buggers. Been there, done that. Nice list of reading. It's great that you've been able to read. Quote
Devi Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Hey Julie! Glad to hear the knee is on the mend. I hope the doctor gives you the all clear. Ugh, I hope karma kicks in soon for that mechanic. Quote
julie Posted September 22, 2014 Author Posted September 22, 2014 Hi guys Thanks for the well wishes . Will update after Friday's Dr apt . As for the car situation, believe it or not, we have never been shafted by a car repairman before. We always take our car to a little place here in town and the guy is very honest and does good work. He tried fixing this one, but said right up front that he didn't know much about these cars so might not be able to repair it , These other guys were crooks in every single area. As old as I am, you'd think I'd behave myself better, but I was SO angry at them Friday , I called them everything but a Milk Cow and cussed worse than a drunken sailor. I think they deserved it though . Quote
Chrissy Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Cussed worse than a drunken sailor? I definitely think they deserved it! Quote
Athena Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 I would say so too, you have the full right to be angry! Quote
pontalba Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Aww, why'd you leave off Milk Cow?! They did, for sure. I hope you can get the car fixed somewhere else! Quote
Little Pixie Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Glad that the knee`s improving, , grr at the car. Quote
Athena Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I agree with the others, I hope you're allright, Julie. Quote
pontalba Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 OK, Julie, this is long enough!! Come back! I just read something you'd really like! True crime, historical book about a kidnapping........! Quote
