Default Luxating Patella

I just got back from the Vet with Mia, she as been favoring her left leg for the last month or so but was getting better there was no pain i would feel her everywhere on the leg and hips, back and nothing i could not pin point why she was limping, and last nite she was playing with Jake and slipped WELL now it's the right leg she could not put any weight on it she would take a few steps and then just fall/Lay over i was really worried and then again no crying and no apparent pain but obviously something is wrong.
this morning i called the vet and made an early appoint for her i did have one but not till 4:30 this afternoon i was able to change it it was a different vet than not Dr Strech, but he was consulted by Dr Reid he told me Mia has Luxating Patella in both back knees i am just sick i feel so bad for her he seemed to think she dont need surgery just yet some dogs can live their whole life with this but Mia is very active little girl she loooves walking running and we do lots of hiking and camping in the summer i cant imagine her not being able to do all these things.
Dr Reid said if she gets really lame and cant bear any weight on her leg than we should do surgery
Right now we are back home and she is laying down she still is not putting any weight on her leg i am so confused i really dont know what to think right now.
As any one of you experience this with your babies?

Please keep my little girl Mia in your prayers

I am so worked up right now i hope everything i wrote makes sense.
