MRI found I tore my outer ligament/meniscus which takes a "simple" arthroscopic surgery to clean the debris and torn fiber and drain fluid. But, it requires full anesthesia. Why? Well, it is how every place does it. So, just follow the trend then.
The surgery is scheduled in a little more than wk from now and will last 1-1/2 hrs. Hmmm... Since I will be gas-ed, no driving afterwords. Otherwise, I will be driving under the influence of abuse substance. Then, what? It will take 4~8 wks to recover after rehab? Hopefully I will be able to make it to play badminton w/ the gang in December if...
Meanwhile, I can only hop around or move around w/ crutches. I hate crutches. Not only they slow me down, they tire me up so quickly and so much! I think I will end up w/ very strong upper arms...hopefully also the chest.
