On My Knees~

Pouick So, so, so... Back in December, I was spraining my knee again... For the 3rd time. With one time on the right, it's 4 knee injuries in the past 10 years. Quite frustrating. This time, I went to the best places I could get. Fortunately, it's closer to my place and to my working place too so the insurances couldn't say anything. Out of this fine treatment and analysis, it was confirmed my knees morphology is crap. The inside tendons are too lose and my knee cap tend to move on the outside at the slightest wrong movement. So what I thought were knee sprains were in fact all knee cap dislocations. Well, "sub-dislocations" on the left knee since it goes back in place by itself and proper dislocation on the right knee since I had to put my leg straight for the knee cap to go back in place (yuck). After the conclusion about my morphology, I had to get confirmation I was part of the 80% crappy knee people who could get surgery. It has been confirmed Tuesday. Yes, surgery is an option. And the only one actually. Either the surgery or sitting on my butt for the rest of my life with no sport, no dangerous activity and a knee that tend to move too much even when simply walking. So know that I made up my mind and decided I will get surgery comes the tough path of finding out who will pay for the surgery. Because the problem is... It was an accident. So the accident insurance - Axa-Winterthur - should pay. BUT it's a morphology problem and without this problem there wouldn't be any accident... so it's up to the health insurance - Mutuelle Assurance - to cover the costs. And me and my knees are caught in the middle. Ô joie ! To be continued...
