The countdown begins to March Madness and my knee surgery.

We always look forward to the month of March for the basketball games, but this year we actually scheduled my knee surgery around the tournament. Who would not love to be forced to lay around and watch basketball. I went in for the pre-op appointment today, my knee is pretty messed up so there are several procedures he could preform. One of which would lead to two or three days of staying off my knee then I will begin rehabilitation or him doing a procedure called micro fracture which Peekaboo Street and Matt Harpring both have had. That is a much longer recovery time four weeks of absolutely no weight on my leg and then who knows how many months of rehab afterword. I have no cartilage left on a portion of my knee so they will drill tiny holes or fractures in my bone in an attempt to help the bone regrow some cartilage. It is not guaranteed but this is the step they take before trying to implant artificial cartilage. I am really excited and nervous to see how the surgery will go but I am definitely ready to begin feeling better. Paul has been so awesome taking care of the girls and I, cleaning the house,preparing meals and letting me take a nap when I am tired from walking around all day at work. I am pretty lucky to have a husband that is very concerned and supportive, this surgery could mean a lot more work for him in the near future but he has not complained once he would love for me to get feeling better eventually, Wish me Luck!!!
