My daughter had her knee surgery yesterday, its a big relief that its finally over and we don't have to worry about it anymore, but she is in ALOT of pain today.
They had to repair a ligament and once they got in there they found that she had quite a bit of damage to the cartilage under her knee cap, probably from a fall (or falls, she is a figure skater so she lands on that knee alot when she's trying something new), so in addition to the damage they already had to fix, they also had to fix the cartilage and drill holes in her kneecap to allow for better bloodflow
Now she has crutches and a "forest gump" looking brace that keeps her leg perfectly straight, which makes it hard to walk on the crutches because she can't pick up her own leg yet. She's getting better at it though.
Hopefully she will be able to go back to school in about a week. Please keep her in your prayers for a speedy recovery !
Thanks for letting me vent.
