Today I had my left (slide) knee scoped to get rid of a ton of scar tissue, and went better than the doctor expected!

How good?

When I asked him when I'll be able to start rolling again he said, "As soon as you feel up to it because there is NOTHING in there that you can hurt and it will be great therapy".

GUESS who's going to try and practice this weekend to be ready for leagues next week?? lol

Thank you sir 😊

I expected to miss a couple of weeks. But now I'm only going to miss a couple of days all told!

What saved me was when it was replaced back in March. The knee is either titanium or plastic, so there was nothing to do there.

Simply AMAZING!!

And indeed it is. The ace bandage comes off tomorrow and I'm going to try and roll to see what happens and how it feels.

Right now it feels great and I don't have any pain killers in me either.

My surgeon is Dr. John Baldauf at Desert Orthopaedics.

But try to remember this. This is the same knee that was replaced back in March, and the knee itself is either titanium or plastic. There was nothing in the knee itself that had to be repaired. It was just the removal of scar tissue, so I doubt you would have the same results I did.
