Well I guess it would be of note to some that I have had surgery.

Two weeks before last Thanksgiving I stood up swifly from crouching down and tore my right medial meniscus. The meniscus is a moon shaped peice of cartilaginous tissues that provide structural integrity to the knee when it undergoes tension and torsion.

By swiftly standing up from a crouched position my patella in conjunction with my tibia tore this peice of cartilage which has since then brought about quite a few instances of pain.

The surgeon performed Arthroscopy, which is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which an examination and sometimes treatment of damage of the interior of a joint is performed using an arthroscope, a type of endoscope that is inserted into the joint through a small incision. Arthroscopic procedures can be performed either to evaluate or to treat many orthopaedic conditions including torn floating cartilage, torn surface cartilage, ACL reconstruction, and trimming damaged cartilage the latter being my particular case.

So as we have it now, my beautiful bride is nursing me back to health, while I hobble around the house wondering how in the world I am supposed to go back to work on Monday.
