To all who wanted to know:
The surgery is not that big a deal. This was the second time (in about 7 or 8
years) that I've had it done, and it seems to have helped both times. I spent 2
days pretty much out of it, and was able to walk without crutches part-time by
the 4th day. I will be getting stitches out the Monday after Thanksgiving, and
will begin physical therapy then. The doctor used a "twighlight zone" kind of
drug generally, and a local anathestic for the surgery...I felt nothing and could
not have cared less if I did! There has been some discomfort since.
I recommend it as a fix for things like torn cartilege, etc. However, I also
recommend taking Glucosomine with Chondroitin. I've had more mobility in my
knees since starting it than ever before!
Required food content: I wonder if there are any foods which help rebuild
cartilege and replace the natural lubricants in joints????
