highest I've been in a while

Hello Everyone,

Well today's cocktail of pre and post anesthesia drugs had me dreaming of cloud baseand condors. Surgery took about 2 and a half hours and I was awake apart of the time since I opted to use spinal anesthesia. Doctor said my ACL was shredded and the other ligaments were in tact but knee joint needed major cleaning out. They removed my existing ligament, bored a hole diagonally through my knee joint from the inside of my leg below the knee to the outside above my knee. They then inserted a cadaver ligament and screwed in the bottom and pinned the top. Simple as that. like getting new tires and an alignment. Anyhow, doctor said no limitations and to walk on it asap. I will start therapy next week and I figure I'll see everyone at Skypoort next Friday................... Just joking, lol. We'll see how it goes but I figure it will be the first of the year until I'm airborne again. Until then I will have to rely on the percocet and dreaming. Have a good one everyone and I appreciate the support from those I have talked to. :lol:
