back from knee surgery
Aaron,
Keep that positive outlook on the "cleanup"....... I am one week out from just that.......and let me tell you it wasnt as simple as they had planned. I had bone fragments pinching nerves, I also had bone fragments that had penetrated the outside muscle that runs up your thigh! They cut my muscle in 4 different places,,,,,,,,,,,and then realligned my knee!
What was supposed to a simple clean up........due to my weight, was an excrutiating process! I still cant bear weight on it, the nerve endings that were cut in the muscle cause me to have a paralyzed feeling.......I am in PT 3 times a week, and leave in TEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But hey, I am having the right knee done in 8 more weeks! LMAO!!!!!!!!
Good Luck!

Welcome back Helen!!! It is something because yesterday I was thinking about you and wondering if you had the surgery and when would you be back on the board.
So glad to read that you did well and even though the surgery is very painful it will be all worth it in the long run. You will be so ready to walk and exercise when you have your WLS. Wishing you all the best.
Glad to have you back!

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.
