Finally, well it has only been a week and a half but I finally see the light. I have been in so much pain from the surgery that I really did not see why it was worth it.
The clinical term of what I had done:
Right leg high tibial osteotomy with osteochondral plug allograft to medial femoral condyle.
The clinical reason I had it done:
RIght knee osteochondritis dissecans lesion with failed micro-fracture and varus malalignment right leg.
I was very fortunate that I was able to get the procedure done at the mayo clinic hospital as they do not normally accept my insurance with most patients. I feel very lucky to be able to have these procedures done.
I figure there to be two or three more surgeries that I will have to have at which point I sure in the hell (excuse my english) hope that it is what is needed to get me mobile again. With the healing time between surgeries maybe another two or three years left.
So, it has been a couple of weeks now and I was told it would be around three months before I could put any weight on the right leg. I sure hope time flies :)
Well back to the CPM machine (that makes you knee bend without weight bearing) for another two hours. Wish me luck. Take care and update latter.
