Murray finally gave Mary a ring and officially proposed. This was done on valentines day...he actually has a romantic streak! I had to drag it out of Murray. He is so private and then I had to ask Mary to share the experience with me. :-) Mary was so supprised. And she loved the ring...it is a family ring. Frank's great-aunt Daisy left it to Frank's Mom and I inherited it from her. So now it is Mary's. Both of them are very tradtional and love family heirlooms. They will be married in 2-3 weeks and honeymoon in Costa Rico.
I hope y'all got my email about the event.
I am doing good with my rehab on my knee. It is still sore and stiff but getting better every day. Are you still stiff, Leanne?
Got to run...baptism at church tonight. I love baptisms, don't you? AP

catch up time
Hi Guys...been a while since I blogged so here I am catching up....As you know, I fell last year at work...slipped on a wet floor and had to have surgery (recently) on my knee. I had the surgery last thursday and I am doing good. I was on crutches for 2 days and then I put them away. They were more uncomfortable than trying to hobble...I did have some considerable pain the first 3 days and took my percocet as needed. But now I don't need it...maybe some tylenol. Leanne...you must have really high tolerance for pain. I go to the doctor tomorow for post-surgery check-up. He wants me to have some therapy...maybe 2-3 weeks. I still hobble but not as much.
Before my surgery, the insurance company (Workmans Comp) called and told me they have a new program where I would go with aan Insurance Representative before a Judge and the judge will decide what amount of compensation I would get for having to have surgery...totally took me by surprise. I was just grateful that they were paying all my bills and reimbursing some of my paycheck. AS we were talking, he mentioned "I could get a lawyer but I didn't really need one and it might be some expense I would get stuck with....." Hmmmm, bells started clanging I got to wondering about it all. Without going into all the past details, the insurance company and my employer messed up pretty bad and my surgery schedule was dragged out for several months, possible as many as 6 months. I worked in pain, I missed work when my knee would swell and be more painful. I went to several doctors , had a ultrasound and a MRI,etc. I think that they are afraid I would sue for a lot of money....they are really dumb. It never even entered my mind. I was blown away when he mentioned it.
Anyway! Has any one had any experience with workmans comp. or dealing with insurance companies?? I am going to look into getting a lawyer...can you imagine, going before a Judge by yourself??? Now I have to concentrate on not getting greedy :-) Pray for me AP
