I'm going in tomorrow for arthroscopic knee surgery for a torn meniscus which I think I did while knee walking in my martial arts (aikido) class. Hopefully, after a few days of hurting a bit more than it does now, it will start hurting less. The crutches are getting old.

I've had that done. No biggie. Just a word to the wise. TAKE THE PAIN PILLS. Also don't wait for the pain to start before you take them. Good Luck.

Thanks, everybody. I'll take your advice and have a nice week off, I hope. The rest of the family will cook T'giving dinner under my "supervision".

Surgery went well. As far as I've heard, the surgeon was actually able to repair the meniscus instead of taking most of it out, I "woke up" about 6 hours ago, it doesn't hurt yet and I can already walk much better.

LOL! You really do need to take your pain meds before your pain becomes unmanageable... game or not! I'm glad the surgery went well and you are recovering. ((HUGS))
