    Glad to hear everything went well Ferg... and I'm glad you're not going golfing tomorrow. hehe. You'll be up and at 'em in no time, but take it easy. Oh... and don't plan on kneeling on the floor anytime soon. That hurts like H....

    Glad it all went well Ferg...Had mine done 3 years ago. Much better after it healed up. Stay with the routine they give you and all will be well.

    Glad the surgery went well... the docs did their part, your part is to now follow the direction they provided. Get well for the season will be here before you know it.

    Glad surgery went well, hope your recovery goes quick too! It's frustrating being limited on getting around, had a knee injury several years back in my younger Army days and was on crutches for a few weeks, what a PITA!

    Being on crutches does suck. I tried putting weight on my leg earlier but not gonna happen yet. I am starting to feel the incisions and they don't feel good. Thanks Kristine for taking care of me. Love you.

    Don't overdo It, follow docs orders! Eventually the incision won't bug you

    Ferg, from the looks of it you've done a great job keeping that swelling down....awesome job. Start bending that knee back and forth to keep the muscles strong and flexible. After you move it around a bit, slap some ice on it for 20 minutes and repeat throughout the day.

    Swelling isn't to bad. Took the bandage off yesterday and did some walking on it. Actually felt pretty good but is feeling real sore again today.
