Busy bee (2)!!!
So following on from previous posts about my knee, some time ago now, I have now finally been in for my operation. It might have ended up quicker to get it done on the NHS in the end but at least it's done.
I went in on Wednesday and had a knee arthroscopy. This involves making a couple of key hole insertions, one for the camera and one for various instruments. The trombone didn't work so instead he trimmed a torn meniscus cartilage and basically got the hoover in there to clean up all the muck. The knees have taken a pounding over the years so some spring cleaning was probably in order.
I was put under a general anesthetic (which I quite enjoy) but was able to walk out of there that evening, albeit with the help of crutches. It's still pretty swollen and I'm still limping about but hopefully I'll be feeling better in the long run. It means I'm off work for the next week which I'm really bummed about (ed. 'Yeah right!!') but I'm going to try and make sure I put the time to good use. So lots of xBox 360'ing, fair amount of internet surfing (I'm in Starbucks as we speak) interspersed with some quality couch time!!
