It seems to exhaust me too @Eve7 

I guess in a way that it is good. At least we are putting everything we can into the appointments.

I'm not a fan of telehealth either but my pdoc is over an hour away. I try to at least do every second appt. face to face.

It is hard when they are working on the roads, especially on the freeways. Going to my pdoc takes me through road works too.

I know you probably don't want to hear the word 'operation', but that might be the best for your knees. It's good that you are going in with an open mind.
