Much needed surgery

I've been having problems with my left knee for quite some time and I finally decided to see the Doctor that did Jerry's knee last year.

He took some x-rays and then did an MRI to see what the problem was. I've been told that I was a prime candidate for total knee replacement.

After all the test were back he told me that all I had was a torn meniscus and that he could fix that on an out patient basis real quick.

He did the surgery on Thursday, October 23 and I went home late that afternoon. He gave me a prescription for pain medicine which Jerry insisted I get filled. I had to take one cause Jerry insisted I do so before the pain started. I was having pain but it was the PIA type.

The Doctor told me I could take a shower on Sunday and that I could begin driving on Monday. On Sunday Jerry wanted a paper so I drove to "Wally World" and got one. No problems and no pain.

I went back a couple of weeks after surgery for a check up and the Doctor said I was doing very well and that he'd see me sometime next year.

I wish I had done this a lot earlier cause it feels good now.
