Back to the Hospital
« on: October 26, 2007, 11:46:51 am »
Kurt is going back into the hospital for a "Forced Manipulation" of his knee.  Since he cannot bend it due to scar tissue and stuff in the way...they are going to knock him out and bend the damn knee untill it cracks up the stuff around it.
I think I need some major drugs.

OUCH is right.
I hope you can get some MAJOR opiates to knock his pain out when he awakes.  I'm sure you hurt you just as bad to see your loved one in pain...  :(

Queen....well it wasnt expected but it was discussed after he got out of the hospital. Since he was still using crutches as of this week, his doctor ordered this proceedure when he saw Kurt on Wednesday.   Although Kurt did all the physical therapy and iced and massaged and whatever he had to do to it, he cannot fully bend (or straighten)  the knee because there is stuff blocking it from moving.  This means he cannot walk unless they can get the knee to bend.  Hopefully this will get him able to walk.
