The 6-Time Champ |2016

Last Wednesday, 12 October 2016, I had my sixth (6th) overall knee surgery and the fourth (4th) on my right knee. And it wasn’t a lil scope this time. This makes me a 6-time champ.

The doctor whom performed the last surgery Dr. Sumit Dewanjee of FXRX Orthopedic also performed this surgery.

So what was done? I had a cadaver ACL replacement surgery plus micro-fracture surgery. The holes are drilled into the bone deeper but in smaller diameters. Think basketball players.

I may be the 6-Time Champ, but I am certainly not a basketball player (nor could be one in any way).

I’ve been waiting a very, very long time to get this done. Part of the lag has been money part of it has been willing to have the amount of time away from, well life in order to heal and recover.

I’ve been trying to take it easy, be good, and all that. It’s hard.

I haven’t taken any painkillers since the 2nd morning after surgery, and I keep dealing with some lingering pain effects. You know, deal with it!

Of note, on Friday (14 October 2016) I saw Dr. Dewanjee as a follow-up to surgery. He had to drain 10 vials of blood from my knee that was caused by swelling and the Nano-fracture surgery.

Right away a lot of my lingering pain went away. Amazing!

I have to continue to get the swelling to go down via my due diligence with my ice packs and using a CPM machine. Gotta get better with that.

So what’s next? Rehab. For the knee.
