Later today I have to go to the doctor about my leg. I'm afraid of two possible outcomes: he's going to say there isn't anything he can do or I have to have surgery. I'm not afraid of the surgery itself. I'm afraid of being incapacitated for a very long time after surgery because I live alone and therefore have to do everything myself.

I hope it goes okay!

The doctor gave me a cortisone shot and I'm supposed to have them every 3 months now and see if they work. If they do I won't have to have surgery.

I hope they work!

I hope the cortisone shots work for you. One friend I have swears by them, others have been more dismissive. Make sure your doctor is aware of your hesitations about surgery too. The fact that you live alone and would need help might allow him to write a prescription for home help for a few weeks while you recover your mobility. With a doctor's decision and your situation, the State may be obligated to handle your outpatient care at no (or little) charge to you.
