Knee Surgery

My hubby had knee surgery last Thursday, to repair a torn meniscus. He had been in pain for about 3 months, and even right after the surgery, for the first time in those 3 months, he didn't have pain while going up the stairs!!!

I think he's having a great recovery and he should be ready to resume normal activities within a week and within a month he can engage in more strenuous activities.

He had 3 small incisions, one on the top right side of his knee, the other 2 on each side of the bottom of the knee.

He was very pleased with the medical attention he got here and everything turned out wonderfully!!!

Mi esposo fue sometido a cirugia de rodilla el Jueves, para reparar un menizco rasgado. Le ha estado doliendo desde hace 3 meses, e incluso justo despues de la cirugia, por primera vez en esos 3 meses, no le dolio al subir las escaleras!!!

Yo creo que se esta recuperando muy rapido y va a volver a sus actividades normales y en un mes puede realizar actividades mas demandantes.

Tiene 3 pequenas incisiones, una en la parte superior de la rodilla del lado derecho y las otras 2 en cada lado de la parte inferior.

Esta muy contento con la atencion medica que recibio aqui y todo salio super bien!!!

I am so glad it worked out well. Hopefully the recovery is easy.

I tore my meniscus playing softball and the pain was so bad. I also didn't like that my knee cap would pop out of it's track :(
