Knee Goes under the Knife in The Morning
If all goes well, I'll be in & out, and my blown out knee will work like it should again.

Good luck! BTW, you're forgiven the typo...v an f are close on the keyboard.
Something to thank pro sports for...knee surgery isn't the nasty stuff it was 40 years ago.

I would mark the knee with magic marker:
CUT THIS KNEE, NOT THE OTHER KNEE- AND DO NOT AMPUTATE ANY LIMBS. |

Maybe your head will work "like it should again". Brain surgery for the price of a knee. If it works, you can always get the knee fixed later.

Good luck Byron!
I completely severed my ACL in the left knee >20 years ago (MotoX). Back then it was 4 days in a hospital, 12in zipper and 5 months in a cast  Heard it’s a cake walk now days with MicroS surgery!

I'm sure he's in dreamland by now, so I'll ask y'all... is he getting a knee replacement, or an orthoscopic tuneup?

HOOT! Berfore I went in for surgery back in '85, I had Cindy tape a quote to my chest: "What? Shall we stab him as he sleeps?" -King Lear Nobody mentioned the note after the surgery. No sense of humor, those surgeons...
