So, what did you do today?

[y5e06]

this is what I'm doing today.
just sitting around like a bum.

On Friday though, I had what I thought was to be a real basic trim on the left knee. turned out to be a little more involved considering the recovery:
Menisectomy on the Medial Posterial part of Meniscus.
but then also found Condral Lesion on the trachlia (i.e. missing cartilage on the femur) which required microfracture drilling.
no, i don't care if any of the proper terms are misspelled...
they drilled a bunch of small holes in the femur to get the bone marrow and blood to ooze out and form a clot. this material has stem cells in it that are supposed to regenerate new cartilage. thats all fine and dandy except now I'm on crutches for the rest of the month instead of just 5 days. the worst part is I have to use this CPM (motion) machine for 8hours a day for three weeks.
yes, i have to sit here while it moves back and forth flexing the leg. So, I'm out of circulation for a while.... and i've already watched Continental sports car, nascar, nascar, more nascar, and some ALMS, and Aussie V8 stuff I had saved up on DVR.

yes that tubing is for an ice water circulation machine, aka cool suit for me knee... now I have something I might be able to repurpose for #95...
