Here we go AGAIN...

My sweet husband has been blessed with knees that aren't so cooperative many times.  He has had an ACL repair and medial meniscus surgery on his right knee.  And now...the left knee is asking for a turn.  His right knee surgery was 2 years ago, right before Max was born.

As I understand it, the meniscus is the consistency of a gummy bear....as we get older, and as we are harder and harder on our knees it can cause the "gummy bear" to crack apart (think of hard taffy maybe more than a gummy bear :)  )...and as these pieces come off, or "tear" the fragments can cause a lot of pain.  And many times they can act like a rock in your shoe, where they get in-between "stuff" in your knee and aggravate it.  This is what has happened.  It has been bothering him off and on for several weeks and then on Saturday night he did something and we think it tore a chunk off and it's lodged in there in a very painful way.   So after meeting with the Dr yesterday, yes Sunday, afternoon....the only real option is orthoscopic surgery.  They can go in and vacuum out the mess and repair anything that needs to be repaired, scrape out any arthritis and clean him up.  :)

So please be praying at 7:00 am as he goes into surgery.  Pray too that the recovery would not be too difficult and he would be good as new in the next week to 2 weeks.  :)

What a wonderful and romantic Valentine's Day it will be huh?, at least we get to spend the day together right?

Thanks friends...
