Knee Swelling

So maybe running was a bad idea???





So today I went to the docotr and got my knee drained and more x-rays. He basically said to keep getting it drained until I will need a knee replacement. He suggested a knee brace that is specially made for me that will push my thigh and calf outward to relieve the pressure the bones are putting on each other since I don't have cartilage and its caused osteoarthritis and grade 4 condromalcia. I went and got measured for the brace (that id have to wear daily) and just got a call that because I havent met my deductible yet of 400 plus the cost i'd pay $550 WITH insurance! CRAZY! So It might be a little longer before I get it...

Guess no more running for me :(

Although It has sowllen 4 times in the past two months. Thats every other week. Takes a week to swell then goes down then swells again. I called in to work and am at home with it propped up on ice. Don't think my boss was too happy but oh well.

Also on the job front I havent gotten any more interviews or call backs, but I did apply to two new jobs through mother frances. One is in the Human Resources Department as an assistant recruiter and the other is an office assistant at the orthopaedic clinic. Yes the one I keep going back to. I hope something works out because I am in need of a change in jobs. I think everyone is tired of hearing me bitch about it everyday when i get off. I want to be a happy person and not fake. So I Need a new JOB! Hopefully there will be a new post soon about a interview :)

Apparently now my boss has decided I can not transfer and I get this email this morning from HR saying they can not honor my request because I have not been at my position for 12 months...Just meaning that since I became full time at the hospital and not spliting cost centers with the clinic and hospital, so now I have to wait until Aug 22.

Although I have to say this is kind of weird considering I had a job interview in Lindale a month ago... how was that approved and these aren't?!
