...LAID UP! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Skiing season is over (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I had my knee scoped on Thursday and even I couldn't believe what they found. Three little slits (this is knee surgery #5 BTW):  8 pea sized calcified bits of "me" Most attached under the patella tendon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) :  Starting to walk on it again today but as you can see... still a little swollen. |

Thanks guys!
Eric Heiden is a great guy... I felt he was really in-tune with my needs. No surgery for surgery-sake. My knee was finally beginning to lock up with all the loose bodies. I had a meniscectomy back in the mid-70's. The bone-on-bone is probably creating these little things. Other doctors couldn't find them. He said he would buy me dinner if he couldn't find them which leads me to think he probably swept those off the OR floor to avoid having to pay-off his debt. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) OK, with me you KNOW there has to be a funny "Stupid-Guy" story in here right? (shut up... you're supposed to say "nooo really?") Surgery was Thursday around noon. Came home, everything was great. Got up Friday morning thinking "wow, this scope was easy... my kidneys hurt worse (anesthetics) than my knee does." I was hobbling around without crutches, fixed the gear shift lever on Laura's bike, brought in some boxes from UPS, general "stuff". Around noon (keep this 24 hour thing in mind) my knee starts to throb a bit. 1:00PM it's kinda "hurting". By Friday night I'm in P-A-I-N. Now remember, this is my 5th so I should know what's going on. I'm seriously hurting. The Percocet is doing JACK. After a hellacious, sleepless night I call the number on the release forms and finally get to Dr. Heiden's assistant. I mention that I think I might have "over-done-it" and told him how great everything was until about noon on Friday... this is when he proceeded to tell me about this miracle substance called Lidocaine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Turns out that after surgery, they fill the knee with lidocaine to aid in the comfort post surgery. It wears off in... about... say... roughly... 24 HOURS!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) God I'm such a F&%$ing IDIOT (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) I stayed off it all day yesterday and it's much better today. Walked a bit without the crutches. Hopefully I didn't wank it too much. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Christine had knee surgery last year. Somehow she still found a way to go shopping the day after surgery......... She couldn't carry our 1 year old, but god forbid she couldn't carry a Nordstroms bag (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
