The New Knee

We're doing well.  Husbandman had a total knee replacement yesterday.  The pain hasn't arrived yet because of some substance that was injected into his leg, but we've been assured that it will arrive soon and to "stay on top of it."  It's like being in a scary movie, waiting for horror, knowing it's lurking close by, unable to do anything about it.

On the good side, the surgeon felt that the operation went GREAT.  He reported with a huge smile that Husbandman's knee was "wrecked---no cartilage, no ACL, big bone spurs...WRECKED!"  He seemed pleased that he got rid of the old cruddy knee and has installed the titanium newness. 

Husbandman and I looked over many photos of knee replacements.  Pretty neat stuff.
