Captain Emerald Shaunassey Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Today is day 6, post-op for me. Put the crutches away on Saturday and been doing fine without them. So far today, I've not had to have any pain meds and knee is looking more "normal." I've two incisions, each about 1/4 inch in length and with 2 sutures in them. Still have a bit of a listing to port limp but, it is fading as the days pass. Due to the cartilage (meniscus) being folded double onto itself, doc had to take out more cartilage than he originally planned. That hasn't seemed to be a bother to the knee so far. Best thing is, I can bend my knee and stand on m' leg without it giving out or popping like a handgun and leaving me lying on the floor! I go back to see the doc on the 2nd (I'm guessing that's when they'll pull the stiches out). And if things look alright then, I can start more aggressive physical therapy to get everything tightened up and up to speed. Thank you all for your support and good wishes through out this ordeal - I don't think I would have done quite so well without the strength you each have lent to me. I am in your debt.

Merrydeath Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 good luck luv, and I'll be seeing an ortho surgeon on the 25th for mine.. he said it felt weird and icky... I swear ta god. He thinks my bursis is folded or at least moved so that there is a ripple in my knee. No big pain, but every so often, it feels like knives. So on ward and upward!
