I know you guys didn't want a leg update, but this is what your getting.

As we know I went for medial patello femoral ligament surgery a week ago.

So far so good. I took the bandages off, which ever opponaut advised me not to throw up was wise, it was gross. There are 22 staples and 3 stitches around my knee.

The bruising is getting better. Most importantly, my walking is getting a lot better. I don't need crutches around the house anymore. Gimmie the zimmer splint and we are good...

Today I walked around a small block with my zimmer and no crutches. Sure, I don't go fast, but it doesn't hurt and I am feeling stronger everyday.

I think renting the gameready device really helped me.

I also think doing excercises really helped. In short, I am at 1 week after surgery further ahead than I was two weeks after the initial dislocation, and it feels great.

Cheers

If this is where you "insert something", I don't even want to know what game you're getting ready for.

So, uh, does this machine "massage" a body part?

No. The thing goes around your knee and then fills with water and compresses.

I'm glad to hear you're progressing so well! Keep it up, but don't overdo it.

I think I just heard a collective sigh from everyone else reading this. I had a rod put in my back so I've lost my squeamishness for this sort of stuff.

Ok. Here is my leg, 1 week after surgery. I took the bandages off a few days ago, so the bruising isn't as bad as it once was.

That looks like it hurts.
