PM tmaricle55. She's a veritable EXPERT on knee surgeries. :S



Is that because she spends so much time on them:D

do you realize that when you critisize people you dont know over the internet, you become part of a growing society of twats? ARE YOU ONE OF THEM?

I went in to speak with an orthopedic surgeon this morning about my knee. As I was leaving I got scheduled for surgery on wednesday!! I'm freaking out! I've never had surgery before and am really scared.

It's arthroscopic surgery where they will be loosening one ligament on my kneecap and tightening/repairing a torn ligament on the other side of my knee cap and clearing out the torn cartilage on the back of my knee cap and scoping for bone fragments in my knee. Holy moly it sounds like a lot of stuff to me.

edited to add: Please only tell me nice happy things about what to expect.. I can't handle any scary stories.




Here's a happy thought for ya since I had surgery yesterday. Went into the OR and they had they radio on a classic rock station. I watched them draw
up the meds to put put me to sleep. next thing I know I'm waking up in my room.Sore as hell but that's to be expexted after surgery.

You're gonna do great! And you will have Jeff with you, whose very presence always makes me relax! He's got the best calming vibe of anyone I know. :)

For those who were wondering, I just got a call from a very loopy but otherwise healthy Karen. She was waiting for her boyfriend to pick up her drugs, and looking forward to going home and watching the DVD of her surgery.

She said something about wiggling her eyebrows at a cute male nurse, so I think our girl's gonna be just fine.

Heal fast, Karen!
