Dear mastakilla:

I will keep my eyes open. I think it is a partial meniscectomy. From what I read online, 94% of partial meniscectomy eliminate the pain completely and heal far faster than a repair. IF I was younger a repair would be possible. But at my age, according to online stuff, my meniscus has deterorated with age and the blood supply may not heal it.

Tomorrow is pre-surgery appointment and I promise I will bring this up.

I have really studied hard for this and have been to about 30 professional websites. Still... your point is well taken!! Thank you!!
