Knee surgery

Yesterday I had to get knee surgery at the Rainier Orthopedic Institute




The doctor said the surgery went well.  It was minor arthroscopic surgery and I was in and out in a couple of hours.  I had a torn meniscus, which doesn't heal on its own so they stick a scope in your knee and trim away the torn area and smooth the injury site.  Don't know when I did the tear, but I noticed it after being on my knees gardening one day and after a month it was not healing and was getting worse.

When Jacquelyn came to pick me up and I was coming out of anesthesia, she said I told her she looked like an angel.
