Was hoping to have heard something by now, but, nothing! SAD!!
The right knee is not recovering and I'm back in pain. Knowing how the VA likes to delay as long as possible, I've requested an appointment to start the process of knee replacement. I can get by without the heavy pain killers as of yet, and while I've thought about going back to using a cane . . . not bad enough yet. It is starting to scare me when I have to walk down steps though. It feels like the knee is going to give out and I'll fall (I really don't need that to happen). The appointment will be on Aug. 8, 2011. Based on previous experience with the VA, it could take up to 3 years on the waiting list, so I might as well get it started.
On the bright side, I also have my 1 year checkup on the right hip the same day. That's still doing extremely well. Will post the results of both appointments when they're done.

July 1, 2011 Update
Nothing new to report! It's been almost 2 months since the comp/pen and not a word from the VA. Looks like they're dragging their feet or playing the "Delay, Deny, Delay and hope the Vet Dies" game again!
