In August 2002 i was playing football with my son, i ran up to kick the ball (with some force) and completely missed causing my knee to make a rather unpleasant cracking sound.
Last March i was due to have an operation to fix a tear in the in the cartilage http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/27000672/ However, i was very sick at the time, had chronic tooth problems, i was in a lot of pain, i had glands that kept coming up all over my body (unknown cause) and i basically felt poop, so i cancelled the operation despite having all the pre-op checks etc.
On Wednesday i was playing with my not so small son and he push me off the bed with me landing on my bad knee. I am now unable to walk on it and i am in lots of pain. The only thing that will rectify this issue is having it operated on.
I am scared to have it done....because...
I am scared of the GA.
I am scared of not being able to walk afterwards.
I am scared of getting some horrendous illness in hospital.
I am scared of the pain...
I am just plain old scared.
....but the pain is too much, especially when both of my jobs are "on my feet" jobs, i have no idea how i am going to manage tomorrow at work. I am worried that if i have it done i won't be able to work resulting in me not earning any money and we rely on my wage to buy the groceries.
What should i do?
