had my knee surgery

[artsprite]

I'm home from having my knee surgery. I had a dime size area of osteonecrosis that the doc drilled 7 holes in to try to get the blood back into it. He said we'll have to wait and see if it helps. Nothing is sure at this point. He also trimmed a torn meniscus, and under the kneecap. I still don't know what it will mean as far as my diving. If the surgery doesn't help the osteonecrosis, it will continue to get worse. It's painful, but I'm able to put some weight on it with the crutches. I just thought I'd let you all know what's going on.

You have my Christmas wish this year for a full and speedy recovery! I'll have to wait till next year for my "other" wish... (grin)

thanks for the good wishes. I'm doing what I'm supposed to do, exercises, crutches, etc. I'm trying to be good. I want the surgery to be successful.

I also extend my best wishes for a speedy recovery...and back to the water ASAP.....

It's so nice of all of you to extend your best wishes, and it means a lot to me that my diving family cares. I'm doing fine so far. I won't know about the prognosis on my osteonecrosis for quite a while. I'll keep you posted.

Merry Christmas All!
