Man I hope you get better bud. Knee injuries are no joke but medicine has advanced so much on rebuilding the knee in the past several years.

Good luck!

Don't panic, I broken 3 of my limbs. Not only they all grow stronger, but I have some of the best 1%% body figure in human.

Ugh, so sorry to hear Mike! I hope you can find some comfort and the pain isn't going to drive you too nutty.
On the positive side, at least you will now be keeping the miles down on the Buick and saving on gas! Always a bright side!

Thanks, guys. Actually it isn't painful as long as I keep my leg straight or almost straight...the cotton-lined knee brace they gave me yesterday helps.....though it is a PITA and keeps having to be readjusted, because it keeps slipping down too low no matter how you tighten it.

Probably the INOVA Fair Oaks complex for the surgery....if still needed. There usually isn't much recovery time in the hospital for operations like this one (24 hours or so), but we'll see. I go for the initial consultation tomorrow.

Hope your procedure goes well.


Looking forward to that Continental review.

I saw one in person a couple weeks ago(w/ Michigan manufacturer plates) and it looked very sharp.

Wishing you a speedy recovery MMarshall.

Knees and ankles injuries are a PITA

When you're all patched up, I would like a review on this, great exercise for the knee

Thanks. They are going to do the surgery tomorrow morning. I lucked out (though my faith tells me it was more than just idle luck) and got a very quick schedule....just 24 hours after the orthopedic consultation today. That's unusual. With this type of injury, It's also important to do surgery relatively quickly after the injury happens, to avoid complications.
