Last week Chuckie had an MRI done on her right knee. It sometime clicks, locks up and causes lots of pain.
We just got back from the knee surgeon, he said she has a torn meniscus. He wants to get in there and explore and clean up the tear. Can it be healed any other way??
Should Chuckie have surgery for her torn meniscus???
He says if we go to his clinic it will cost $600 we just have to pay the nurses the Government pays him.
Of course in Canada if we go to the hospital it is free. He can do it in the clinic this week or we can go on the waiting list for the Hospital it is about six months.
We can have about 150 Margaritas in Mexico for the $600 and Chuckie says wait til we get back in about six months and have it done in the Hospital day surgery. I don't want to rush her but should we do it now?

Chuckie had a slip and fall accident. Stepped on blue berries in the grocery store and put her knee and shoulder out about 4 years ago. She had the probe and clean then. It is again getting to give her major locking problems.
When we walk she has trouble staying with me and my 2 new knees. I had trouble keeping up to her but she is now in great pain and slowing down.
