Well, here I am at week seven (since the surgery) and doing better than I ever expected!!! They let me walk without crutches last week, and on Monday they let me remove the brace too! Now I can walk around normally again, drive a car, wear pants, and start getting back to my normal life. I’m so happy. I thought that it would take much much longer to get back on my feet. :) Of course I still have months of PT to work through... My right leg is still visib...

It took a long time to get all the hospital paperwork and pre-surgery check-ups completed, but after three postponements I finally had my knee surgery on October 12th. I got to the hospital at 6am and didn't wake up again until 3 that afternoon. So I don't remember much, but the surgeon said that everything went beautifully and that there was less damage than he had thought at first. I can't tell you how happy that made me. :)They were able to return ...
