The Knee Has It
Follow-up with the surgeon today.
The result:
1. Meniscus was torn, and the Doc smoothed it out
2. ACL was snapped in two (meaning Jude has no ACL)
3. Slight amount of arthritis on one edge of bone
4. The rest of the knee looked great
The verdict:
1. More physical therapy
2. Strengthen the knee
3. When knee recovers from this surgery (Aug-Sept). . .
4. The Doc will evaluate for more surgery and a repair with cadaver parts
All in all, Jude feels pretty good about this. It for sure sounds a lot better than a knee replacement.
The Crew intends on making Jude hike all summer to help with the rehabilitation. Whoo-hoo
