    Postponed knee surgery/post #25

    For those of you that wanted to know what's what:

    Good news is that I don't need a replacement, or even a partial replacement, but I do have to have surgery on a more minor scale. The MRI showed both the medial and lateral meniscus are torn, and they will have to be repaired, I had the medial done in both knees 20+ years ago, so here we go again. I'm scheduled for the 19th of this month and it will be an outpatient procedure by scope, so I'll be back home and dancing the jig by the end of the day. Well - maybe not dancing, but at least I'll be home.

    So that's it. Thanks to all for the prayers and positive vibes - they worked!

    You??? Normal??? just kidding....

    Yeah - I know it's a piece of cake since I've already been thru it twice before, but it is a little more involved this time and I might have a few more restrictions this time too. I'll soon find out. The worst part about it is starting physical therapy after 2 weeks of rest and healing. How I HATE that.

    But still, that sounds so much simpler than a replacement! Good news! NO jig dancing right afterwards - leave that to the Pet Talk Catmobile crew!

    That's great! Excellent news.

    Well darn, if you had a silent heart attack that is not good news, but I guess finding out IS. Best wishes with all the tests.
