That stinks. How long are you down for? What kind of rehabilitation are you looking at?

Well I am walking alittle now and doing execises a half hour twice a day.Will be out of work for a couple weeks atleast.I drive a short bus so I will get back to work sooner than someone doing more manual work or standinding.Might as well show you all a pick of my doctors handy work:hmm3grin2orange:
Ouch. Looks like you'll stay nice and cozy by the fire though. A laptop and AS in the recliner, and you're good to go
Here's to a speedy recovery

Hopefully you recover fast woodyman. I broke my fibula three weeks ago so I haven't been able to do too much. The good is I do computer programming out of my house for my day job so I've been able to continue doing that.

Put the ice pack on my knee sat down in the recliner and dozzed off for awhile.That wood heat will do that to a person.Looks like I won't be laided up as long as some of you as of now.I got enough wood split and stacked for three winters but would sure like to split and stack the 8 cords I have on the ground.A saw project would be a good idea about now,I am starting to get alittle restless.I do have a camera full of chainsaw and woods pics I can start threads with
Almost forgot I can drink beer now.

I've been there, it sucks to sit and think about cutting. Though it keeps ya going at the same time so you can recover and go cut. Hope ya heal up fast

Best thing I ever did was get knee surgery. I had hurt bad for a long time. The surgery made it completely better.

I have had surgery on both my knees (torn meniscus) and walked out of the hospital and was back to work the next day. I was back to running within three weeks each time.
Have a younger friend who played football in college and had arthroscopic knee surgery and didn't miss a game. Back when I was in school they opened you up and you were laid out for several months.
Last time I had it done they didn't even stitch up the holes.

Woody I know where your coming from I was laid up near this time last year with a shoulder surgery. It sucks but finally its getting to the point where its pretty much all good and hope you end up that way as well.
After a couple weeks I was out in the shop tinkering with saws anyway, even if I couldnt start one by myself. LOL
Between that and therapy 3 times a week I was fine with it.

Its been 2 days sense surgery,I walked out of therapy yesterday but today the knee is very stiff.Been trying to bend it as much as possible and doing exercises.I had torn and ripped meniscus and some things floating around in there and he shaved some stuff down.I have been having trouble for the last year and a half.First they thought it was sprained the they said I had arthritis then I got rid of my retarded doctor got another and an MRI which showed the damage.Thanks all for your comments and interest.

Sounds a lot like what happened to me. But my knee got so much better, the surgery and recovery was absolutely worth it.
Try to enjoy your down time. I'll bet it's shorter than you expect.
