Lol. That place was packed today ... And when I got home I busted my rear and back when I slipped while using mandatory crutches. Lol.

And husband must have had a super Mild case of the flu .. No fever since yesterday (tuesday) am and symptoms started Monday am. Thank goodness my mom was available to drive me home ... Facility said my hubs wasn't allowed to drop me off or bring me home which was really understandable! Yes I'm a rule follower.

Here's to two days of pain meds and tv.

Good for you. And it's amazing what arthroscopic surgery can do.

When I had my left medial meniscus removed after graduating from HS in 1969, I was in the hospital for 3 days; was in a full length restraint for 6 weeks on crutches; and then a cane for a few more weeks while I did physical therapy.

Now folks can walk out after arthroscopy.

Enjoy being pampered, 91! Get well soon.

Damn Iona 3 days??? Doc 12 years ago bad me walking that day. This doc (a former LSU offensive lineman) has me wrapped up looking like something awful happened. No walking 48 hours . And I have to admit once I knew I was ok, busting my rear was pretty funny.

Hopefully I'll be on to at least run/walk my half marathon in march.

Merry Christmas Iona!!

No I didn't ... Had a discussion here about my husbands flu and my surgery Monday night.

Was asking how early was too early to be swabbed. Honest and practical question.

They didn't have arthroscopic surgery 45 years ago. So, I have a 5 inch scar and they kept me for infection purposes. It was a miserable summer being on crutches as a 17 year old kid.

You keep running, 91. I know it's good for your body and soul.

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Big difference between meniscus removal and repair.

It's what keeps your knee in the socket, I think?

My daughter blew hers out in her soccer game the other night.
This time it's bad.... Way worse than last year when she mildly bruised it.

Proper term for cartilage in your knee. Acts as a shock absorber.
