Day 804

SURGERY.

Today was the day! Surgery is done and I am on my way to having two, yes TWO, healthy knees! Tony picked up my CPM machine so I have that helping to keep my leg moving. The femoral block should wear off sometime tomorrow afternoon...then, let the pain begin... Dr. Coward tells me that my knee, overall, looked better then he had anticipated. Probably because my left knee looked so bad! Anywho...he said he had very little 'cleaning' up that he had to do as far as wear and tear. The ACL was gone, as expected, but I also had a tear in my meniscus that he sewed and reattached. I had some sort of 'divet' in my femor...god only knows how I did that to myself!
