Dear Basschick and Davimee:
Thank you! There were days when I was sure they had made numerous mistakes and it was far worse and I envisioned pieces of meniscus stuck amongst the other knee parts limiting mobility.
Those first two days were outrageous on pain; and the first week or so felt like no progress and things were worse. It was horrible feeling like the operation failed and I would be left unable to walk properly ever again. I admit freely that there were many times I lost confidence.
But, today, I am walking without a cane and not limping much (if at all) and without any real pain. Basically... I feel whole again! I also now value my knees, do not take chances, watch where I step, and no longer feel "unbreakable". But I am very happy and the surgeon was outstanding. It will be three months before I can rebuild strength fully... but gee I do feel happy!!
