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
