I wondered, over in Ebbie's thread, why you said you were going to be taking it "easy" for fourteen days! Take care and may it be minor and well mended.

Thanks for letting us know!

I had arthroscopic surgery to look around inside a knee. A few hours later, I saw the doctor and asked when the anesthetic was going to wear off because I wanted to know how bad it was going to hurt. He informed me that it had worn off shortly after the surgery. It never did hurt much, but all they did was look around. The worst thing was the swelling, but it was because they pump in a bunch of water. It went back to normal fairly quickly.

The best thing might be if they found a wayward hunk of cartilage they can cut away through the holes. Then, your problem will be solved with no major knee surgery. Best of luck, Skarpi.

Skarpi, I had an injection in my knee yesterday. If the pain doesn't go away I will probably "kneed" surgery. Mine is in my left knee. If yours is in the right knee we could hold each other up.

I trust Icelandic doctors don't make mistakes. Make sure you say it's knee surgery and NOT vasectomy.

I posted earlier but I see it didn't take.

Are there any other mudcat men out there with a problem limp? Step forward, now is the time to consider poking holes to take a closer look at the problem. . .

Yeah. They replaced that hip, but I still limp at times, mostly when I get tired.

One of my brothers has a kneecap that doesn't track right; they're thinking of addressing the problem down the road, so to speak.

May your problem be minor, Skarpi, but if needs must, be swiftly, painlessly and permanently fixed.

It's probably best to try to deal with this knee problem now, rather than wait until it gets worse.

Best of luck!

I wrote this for Rapaire, but there is no reason you cannot share it, good Skarpi:

What thoughts I have, you soon will see
Concerning you, and your poor knee.
The poor thing's tired, that is plain
Protesting, sad, and full of pain.
Consider all its work outstanding
In past times giving understanding
Supporting in foolish times or wise
Half of your weight, half of your sighs
Giving its all for half your jogging
Standing in service whilst you were snogging
Doing its best, or bent, or straight
To help you walk, or screw, or wait.
Now for all this, acknowledge well
Your knee has followed you through hell!
Thank it for service in bearing loads
In ice-caps, highways, hills and roads.
It has been valiant, do not doubt it--
Your understanding would fail, without it.
And on the ground, upon your nose
Like some leftover winter snow
You'd lie in endless apathy
Except for the works of your good knee.
Therefore be kind, kind words it tell
And it shall understand you well.
May it have healing, renovation,
Strength, support, and relaxation,
Until, itself well understood
It can return to doing good.

Gnu, he expected to go into the operating room at 9 am and thought he'd be on his way home by 12 or so, if the problem is easily fixed. Otherwise, he told me he'd ask the lovely Gunna to let us know if he needed to stay at the hospital.

Recovery and travel time should be included in our worry calculators.

Okay. I had that sort of thing done to my right knee a few years back and there are two BIG rules I want to share with you. They are very, very important to remember:

1. No skipping until the doctor says it's okay.
2. Same thing for parachute jumping.
