I guess I did too much on Monday and Tuesday because the knee pain started up again. Not the bad throbbing knee pain but enough that I couldn't sleep and took 800mg Ibuprofen at 1am. But I can't rest all the time! This morning I went to the feed store and grocery store. Up and down the garage steps at least a half dozen times bringing in sunflower seeds and peanuts for the birds and squirrels. And groceries.

Called my doctor's office to ask about the referral to an orthopedist. They checked and said it had been accepted on 12-26 and they could transfer me so I could set up an appointment. I also asked if my own primary care doctor would order an MRI so I don't have to keep waiting to find out what happened to my knee and what I need to do about it. They sent a message to him and told me his office will call me. From experience I know not to expect a call until tomorrow. I doubt my doctor will look at my message until the end of the dsy. Called the orthopedist office and got a recording saying to leave a message and they will return my call in the next 24-48 hours. I bet no one is even in the office. Small rural health system, but at least we have some doctors and a hospital. So more waiting.

Had oatmeal again. It is really filling but with the oatmeal and banana I use up more than half my allowed carbs for the day. So no glass of milk. Well the grocery store didn't have any non fat milk today. I asked them why if milk was delivered yesterday. They said they don't always get everything they order and to try again on Friday. Again, small town stuff. The feed store didn't have sunflower chips or the bags of peanuts so I bought bulk peanuts. Well the squirrels are happy

I have an appointment already for the 19th with the orthopedist. Was told to go to the hospital anytime for the X-Ray they ordered. I told them I already had an X-Ray done and they said the doctor has very specific angles done. I called Medicare to see if they will cover both X-Rays and was told yes. I called the orthopedist office back to see if they have verified what they ordered isn't the same as what was already done. The day is flying by because I'm making so many calls. I also called my prescription drug insurance company to verify my premium is really going from $8.30 a month to just 40 cents! Yes!
