Knee Surgery


Duane had his knee scoped on Wednesday, October 22nd. We were scheduled to be there at 1:45 - keep in mind he wasn't able to eat after midnight the night before! Needless to say, he was pretty grouchy by the time they finally called him back. The surgery went well. He spent a couple of days on crutches and kicked back in the recliner. By the 4th or 5th day, he was walking almost normally and could bend it to nearly a 90 degree angle. He went back for his follow up a week later and got a full release to go back to work.
The surgeon gave Duane a disk of pictures from the surgery. If we remember right, this was a 'before' picture of the cartilege in the knee.
