Wounded Knee

by Vort1gern @ 23/11/07 - 23:35:39

Surgery yesterday.

After getting a look at it with the arthroscopy, the Consultant said the kneecap was "half off".

I've been running and fencing on that.

Movement seemed a lot better after the joint erosion was shaved smooth and the tissues were cut that were holding kneecap in the wrong place. The only drawback was that it made the kind of noise your stomach does when it's empty and hungry every time I flexed it.

And then the anaesthetic wore off at 9 pm.

Man. That was interesting.

All doing well now though - can move around with a stick and some expletives, and H is taking good care of me.

Just have 240 leg raises and 180 knee flexes to do each day now.

Yikes.

Thank you RTB - nothing compared to your round of travails, but I'm a man so I get to whinge about it more!
