This morning I had some knee surgery done
How did it get that far? In August I fell with my bicycle and hurt my left knee and my right elbow. The pain in the elbow had gone after two weeks, th eknee kept hurting. Finally I went to see the guy who had already done surgery 7 years ago on my right knee, and after the scan it showed that I had the same problem: one cracked meniscus. Solution: take it out, lol.
Surgery went well (well, at least up until now, lol). Entered the operating room at 9:45am, woke up in the wake-up unit at 10:45, where they kept me in observation for another half hour, then I was taken to my room, where I slept for another hour. In the afternoon I got something to eat (I was about starving, lol), and around 3pm the orthopedic surgeon came to see how I was doing.
The head nurse gave me a first shot against clogging of the blood (I have 9 to go, will have a nurse coming over at home to do that every day).
I am home now, walking with crutches for the first couple of days.
Whereas in my right knee he could do the job with only 3 openings in my knee, I saw he had to make 4 openings now (I hope at the same cost, lol, makes a 25% discount then, per hole, lmao)
Home until 2nd of November, but I will need to tell the doc he needs to release me earlier, lol, as I have meetings on 28 and 30th October. Well, I will see how I feel, ....
