surgery update


Mike had knee surgery (again) yesterday. The doctor ended up moving the tendon that holds his kneecap in place. He said that there was a significant amount of arthritis on the outside of his knee and by moving the kneecap over he hopes to relieve a lot of the pressure on that area. Mike did well and is recovering at home. He is supposed to be partial weight bearing only for at least 6 weeks and will be using a CPM machine to move his leg for the next 2 weeks. Here are some pics of the patient.
