Just wondering!!!

Left knee, right knee or weenie?

Do we have to surgically remove the NTSC True Faith video from you? Remember that? I'd almost forgotten.

After 13 knee operations meself, there ain't a lot to be gained from seeing someone else have one !

Have Rangers offered £5m for your services yet, cause you meet the criteria.

While I love to watch things blowing up, violent scenes of destruction in war movies and caught on film ect, surgery I do not enjoy watching.

How'd you fook up your knee?

Godspeed, texas name changer. Here's to a successful and painless procedure.

It seems the third option is a winner

i'd need some beverages to watch something like that. oh well, at least it's just a knee and not open heart surgery.

if ur knee blows up, sure ill go:D

Pre-op swelling ? Sounds as though you may have pinged a lateral cartilege, which will generally draw all the spare fluid the body can muster to protect it. Do not try heat whatever you do, the body gets confused by it and thinks it needs more blood and plasma to the area. You'll need to do a lot of sitting down with your leg raised, keep the ice on, may take days. If there's a tear, they may make a small incision to scrape away the damaged bit. You don't need all the cartilege you have, the body produces extra to start with, and it does wear down naturally.

Might as well Jeff, besides the beverages, how bout some Junior Mints? I must've missed yer post on how this all happened, hope you'll be okay by July.

be sure to get a bag of killer weed before you go in. that way you have a good pain killer and medicinal smoke waiting for you when you get home.

how many legs have you got?

Well, counting those two shorter appendages on each side, that would make three, wouldn't it?

Or porn star.

Hi Buffy here, everyone seems to have a story. I dont,I would go weak at the knees seeing such an event!(Pardon the pun)

Jeff,

Sorry to hear about the blow out.

Are you going to be able to get a scope job or will they have to do a reconstruction?

If it's reconstruction, ask about the following for post-op care:

1. Have the doc install an ice water bladder amongst the dressing that will be wrapped around the knee. A small cooler with a pump inside will connect via hoses to the bladder. It circulates very cold water right to the knee and eliminates the need for ice packs.

2. Demand the CPM (continuous passive motion) machine. You strap your leg into this thing 3 times a day (make sure you're loaded up on Vicadan before) and set the degree angle you want the machine to bend your leg at the knee. The machine does all the work. It hurts like hell at times, but it's worth it. I saw a girl at my rehab place who didn't get one. Her leg was at a jacked up angle and it took her 3 times as long to rehab.

Good luck and God bless. :)
