Knee surgery arthoscopy tomorrow

so finally i got enough funding to go ahead with the knee procedure. no biggy, just go in with a cam, look around, trim trim, burn burn, fix fix and i am all better.......i hope. that is i hope i wake up and not have my leg amputated....


so as long as i survive the anesthesia(they tend to flat line me) all should be good. and i could get back to riding, well easy riding very soon. this year will be a wash, no real racing, maybe just some fun stuff. will spend most of the year getting back in shape and building up slowly.


here are some random pics of knee artho stuff i found for the other knee pain riders out there.

Gross.
Good to know your still alive man. I was worried. Hopefully you'll be set to ride (slow like me) by the time the snow melts.

I was worried that you had fallen off the edge of the world somewhere. Haven't heard from you in forever. I hope everything is going well. Take care of yourself.

PT PT PT. That's been my mantra for the last 6 months. Did I tell you had surgery on mine again? Quad ruputure, part 2. The sequel is far better than the oringinal. Got to love modern medicince. Take care.

well four days after surgery i feel like somebody drilled three holes into my knee.

the pain is getting better slowly. will update more in a couple of days

OCR, how's the knee?

hey paul,

well the original pain seems to be gone, but if i don't take my anti-inflammatory it hurts where they drilled me. also i get this unstable loose knee feeling with the pain.

the pain is low about a 3-4, but enough to remind me not to do too much.
