6 week (supposed to be 4 week) check up.

Well we were in Las Vegas this past Thursday and Friday. David's 4 (LOL) week check up was on Friday. The Doctor told him he could walk without the use of the brace now. It is kindof a walking limp, but at least he is walking without all these other aids. He still has P.T. 3 times a week. We still have to go back to Vegas at least one more time, if not 2. We want to see another knee Doctor there to get a second opinion. Yes I know you usually get those BEFORE surgery, but you do what you got to do when it is workers comp that is taking care of things. Let me tell you that workers comp in Nevada certainly doesn't give you much information, they only give you the bare minimum. You have to keep calling to ask questions, you don't get a pamphlet to rea or nothing, their web site is about the same way. So it is a little stressfull. David is probably going to have to get vocational retraining, and get a different job. His claim adjuster said something about other people with knee injuries not being able to lift more then 25 lbs. because if something happens later on workers comp wouldn't take care of it. Well who knows just have to play it day by day.
