Well here are the details for now.
As most know back in Oct I was injured at work and have been on crutches,
physical therapy ect. Well those we not working so it was decided I would
have things surgically repaired. The surgery went well and I was home late
afternoon (honestly do not remember what time since I wa still pretty groggy
from the surgery). The good news is that we were expecting to have to do
some rapir of the meniscus but the tears in it were minimal and he only had
to "shave" the meniscuc. Unfortunitaly while he was in doing the surgery he
found that I pretty much dont have much left of the pateller cartlidge (the
knee cap cartlidge) and that my knee was "bone on bone". I wont know much
more until I see him in his office next week as to what the furture will
bring regarding my knee and my career. For the time being I am on bedrest
(or in some cases chair rest) with my leg propped up on multiple pillows,
still on crutches and have this really nifty cooler thing that uses ice
water to flow around my knee. I hate "hurry up and wait".. sigh
