Ugh....I have problems with both of my knees - torn tendons & fluid behind the knee cap.
I've done like 6 months of PT, but I refused to do the surgury.
Hope your recovery goes smoothly!

Ouch!
Hope it all goes well!
My Maria had key hole work done on the left knee 5-6 weeks ago, and had the MACI Graft op a 4 weeks later, she will be in bed for the next 3-4 weeks then 1 year of rehab.
Once again all the best and hope your knee op does the trick.

Is someone helping with the tanks?
Heres a pic of Maria's knee.
The splint restricts movement to 10 deg, this is to protect the graft which was placed on the inside of her knee cap... 2 screws hold her knee cap in place and will be removed in a years time...

Had my left kneee repaired about 4 years ago, do the rehab, don't let it get stiff on you. They started my rehab 2 hours after surgery. I was back at work on my feet 9 days later

Wish you a fast recovery. Your fish shall adapt to a little downgrade in care for two or three weeks. Be smart and don't push your limits.

Well I hope is good by then. I started bleeding pretty bad every time I want it to help or do something so I'm confined to the couch with my leg up.
Thanks Pete.
