Just got off the phone scheduling an MRI for my knee on my residual limb (LBKA 12/2013). Apparently my knee cap does not track correctly giving me pain, so the MRI is to find out why.
Before they will schedule an MRI they ask a ton of questions, such as, "Do you have a pacemaker? Do you have any stints? Do you have metal clips in your head from a previous surgery? Have you ever been shot?" As they asked question after question that I answered "No" to, I just had to smile.
Although I have some problems...there is a WHOLE BOATLOAD of medical problems that I DON'T have!!! Made me feel pretty well off all things considered. 
It is so easy to focus in on one or two things and miss seeing the bigger picture.
I'm not walking much right now; but I've got a medical team exploring why I'm having pain. I don't know what the outcome will be or where all of this will lead. On one hand I'm fairly tired of the constant up and down of my life. On the other hand I am content and satisfied knowing that things could be much much worse. I don't have it too bad!
