Thumbs up Woo Hoo -- surgery on March 4th

<---- while "gimpy"

Jan 24th, I was moving a cart at work with a coworker and it started moving towards a skid of finished parts. I grabbed the cart, pulled it away and felt "something" in my right knee followed by pain.

Turned out I tore the meniscus on my right knee on the inside. The surgeon who rebuilt my left knee in 2002 ( patella graft) will be doing arthroscopic surgery on March 4th.

As he was scrolling thru my MRI pictures, he said " I've done over 10,000 of these. I can fix that in ten minutes" .

I'm looking forward to walking without pain and actually being able to sleep for more than 30 - 45 minutes at a time without my knee waking me up

Here's a picture of the cart with half of the tubes that were on. The tubes are 4" square, 11-1/2' long and weigh about 60 pounds each. The cart weighs in at 300 lbs empty
