Knee Surgery went well
« on: March 26, 2008, 12:52:03 PM »
Just woke up from a nap after my knee surgery.  The first thing I wanted to do was check the SOHC4 forum.  The surgery went well according to the doctor.  The meniscus tears were a bit worse than the MRI showed and he also had to smooth out some cartridge damage under my knee cap.  I was talking with the anesthesiologist prior to surgery and found out that he rides a motorcycle (1978 GS1000).  In about 4 weeks I should be riding.  I begin therapy tomorrow, 3 days a week for 4 weeks.

Ditto that for my wife... she just had her gall bladder removed. All of the ladies in her riding group all gave her the same get-well message: you'll be healed by riding season!

Get well quick Andy, your bike misses you.  I have a bottle of Percocet also, but I haven't taken any.  My pain is dull, so I am going to pass on the pain pills.  I hate the way pain killers make me feel. Plus, I don't need another addiction - SOHC Fours is enough. ;D   I am only taking the anti-inflamatory meds and using R.I.C.E.

P.S.  My right knee has the word WRONG written on it with a purple marker.  My left knee is signed by the doctor.  I wonder if it is a collectable - like a Shelby signature?

Sparty,

Did they open you up or scope you? I'm hoping you got scoped. Recovery is a few weeks and you'll be up and walking cautiously in a few days. In 4 weeks you'll be a new man with no knee pain. I only had about 10 seconds to talk with my anesthesiologist before I was out each time.

Recover well. If it's your right knee use your starter button. I'd damn near bet you'll be riding prior to 4 weeks!  ;)

Geeze, I feel left out. I only had my tonsils and appendix out so far. I seem to be behind the curve. ;D

I had my right knee worked on in '05(scoped) and aside from the lovely drain tube(YEECH) It was pretty good.

I hope you both get better fast.  Knee problems SUCK!!
