Knee Surgery


Tomorrow I am having arthroscopic knee surgery. They are clearing out a lot of scar tissue & cleaning a lot of frayed pieces of ligaments, cartilage, & clearing out a lot of arthritis. Depending on what they see in there they will decide if we are going to have to do a fairly serious surgery where they detach the patella tendon & reattach it in a tighter pattern to hold the knee cap more in place. However, the only way to reattach it is with 5 screws into my leg!

I'm excited for tomorrow as this surgery has been over 8 years coming, but I'm very nervous obviously. I would appreciate your prayers tomorrow. I trust my doctor, but...you never know.
