Off to surgery

[12secondv6]

Damn!

Right now... we know:
Torn ligament in left knee
Other damage under left knee cap

Can't do an MRI because I already have 2 pins in there.

Date: Next Friday.

I WILL be at A.S.S. but... on crutches, leg brace, sh*t load of pain killers, etc.

I've had previously:
ortho on both knees
Left knee cap relocated and 2 pins
Countless knee braces, casts etc.

He wanted to do surgery this Friday.....I asked if it could wait.... he said yes... and let me give you ALOT more pain killers ;)


Ugh, I hate this crap!

We won't know the extent of the damage until he is in there.

Well..... at least I can hope for cute nurses at the hospital right?

Guess I'll be online a HELL of a lot more than I am now :(

Race season..... postponed :(

Good luck with the surgery. Hope it's not anything too serious, and as I've never had any problems with me knees I don't really know what that stuff means.

Weight reduction, always thinkin about that arnt u?

Good luck with this surgery man, hope everything pulls thru ok.

Sorry I feel for you.

Was it any injury that caused all this or just worn down?

I went through something similar only for my ankle, ended my baseball career. .840 on base percentage my last season. :( It's ok now, but I can never resume full activity needed for sports. And it only hurts now if I try to run for long distances.

I'll second the motion for loritabs, don't accept 5's get 7.5's or the 10's [img]graemlins/naughty.gif[/img] Cloud nine , the more you take them though the less they seem to do, though.

btw, if you have any left over.....j/k

Heh, about cute nurses, good luck! When I was in the hospital, I had either ugly ones, ones that spoke incomprehensible english, and a male one that kept giving my wife and a female coworker dirty looks...

Only one cute one, but she couldn't work a needle fer crap when drawing blood for hemocrit (sp?) count tests. :(
