Poor K-Man

Kevin has been up since about 3 this morning trying to get comfortable because his knee is bothering him. It looks like it did before the surgery. And there is so much heat coming off of it, it is like it is burning. I was getting ready this morning and he said he needs me to take him to the doctor because he doesn't think he can make it. I told him of course, no problem. A couple of minutes later I smelled smoke and at first was going to yell about him smoking in the house but then thought better of it...what am I going to make him do?! Walk down the three steps over to the garage to make him smoke?! The poor man has been up all night and in terrible pain. Too bad for him that those painkillers don't work on him. Oh, and yesterday we found out that is a family thing on the Gaffney side....huh.
Anyway, we have an appointment with his regular doctor at 8:40, a call into his surgeon, and Joe, my brother's friend who is a physical therapist, is calling a surgeon he knows to see if Kevin can get in with him. It is a partner of Kevin's surgeon so hopefully.....I really don't want to go to the ER.
I will keep you posted!
Please keep Kevin in your thoughts today.

Weekend

Our weekend was nice. Friday night we went up and had pizza with Harold and Lisa and later played euchre. It has been forever since we have played. While we were there, I noticed Kevin's knee was visibly swollen. So much so that I could tell through his jeans. And it is really hot. You can feel the heat coming off of it.
Saturday I made him stay home and stay off his knee. It is just terrible. It helped a bit staying off of it but still. Later that night we went bowling. I was totally not into it and don't even remember the scores I got. Oopsies!
This morning and went and picked the kids up, did a little shopping at Target and went to the Gaffney Christmas over at Kevin's brother & sister-in-law's house. It was a fun time but Kevin's niece is always late so we ended up missing dessert because Tyler had to get back for work. We stopped by Steve & Melissa's later for Steve's birthday.
Busy but nice.
Oh, and the two most important things:
Kevin has a doctor appointment tomorrow morning with our regular doctor for a regular old check-up so hopefully after he sees Kevin's knee, we can get it taken care of right away.
And, possibly even more importantly, Kevin's friend, Cam, called last night with a line on the Wii. Supposedly all the Meijers were getting 30 of them in and Kevin got the 25th one at the Jenison Meijer!
WOOT WOOT!!

Update

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted. I know you all must just be waiting on the edge of your seat.
Anyway, Kevin scheduled an appointment with a different orthopedic surgeon to get a second opinion. He is no where close to back to normal and it has been three months. Geesh. Poor hubby.
I went to the doctor yesterday and I have to get a ct scan on my sinuses. I have been taking cold & sinus medicine almost every day for at least 6 months now. I know, I know. Not good. My doctor said because this has been such an ongoing problem, I have had this issue for over a year now, we might as well just get the scan done and figure out for sure what is happening instead of just guessing and hoping a prescription here and there works. He said it might be a deviated septum or my drainage passage might be too small and they would have to make it bigger. FRICK.
I called Kevin after the appointment and he said, "I wonder if your voice will change?!". I had not even thought of that. What if it does? I make people do things because of my annoying, nasally voice! What if I don't have it anymore?!
