FINALLY

[xtreme]

Well after 4 months of physical therapy and waiting on a surgery date, I go in tomorrow morning for meniscus and cartridge repair. Needless to say I can't wait to start riding again the bike has been in the garage since April. They are giving me two weeks off for recovery so I'm gonna polish my translucent orange and red airbox covers. Thinking about putting them up for sale. I got a feeling I will be on here alot for the next two weeks.

I wish you a speedy road to recovery man! If you put them up for sale, i'll take first dibs on the trans orange!

Ok I will let you know!

 

[nrankin]

Argh, the knee! Good luck, make sure to write 'This one" in sharpie, and get a comfy chair

Microfracture?

It was from deciding to do squat day at the gym even though I forgot my knee wraps at home. That was a big No No! Some how the cartlidge behind my patella ripped and now catches my patella every time I walk upstairs.

Does it go "click, click"?

It does and it sucks. I ran it into the corner of my desk at work about 2 weeks ago and thought I was gonna hurl.

[up] Recover quick! We need to get all the Buells together in our area and go for a cruise.

I twisted mine hopping down off the countertop. Couldn't kneel on it or it would lock up for hour or so then click back into place. MRI showed inside 1/2 of my meniscus was torn. Doc took out 2" piece and repaired the socket cartilage.

GL and speedy recovery. Your knee is gonna be the size of a grapefruit for a week or so

30% of my meniscus left in my left knee.

tore my mcl, meniscus in 2008

tore my mcl, pcl, meniscus and acl in 2009 (same knee)(required reconstructive surgery)

I feel your pain! Hope you get well soon. Don't rush it.

Well home from surgery! Tired as hell right now. Once the doc got in there he said the meniscus looked good but I had cartlidge damage under my patela and there were a few pieces of cartlidge that had broken off and were floating around. Now it's time to ice pop a few Pills and take a nap. Thank you to all for the kind words
