The news is good! My consultant took a look at the x-rays and declared them to be better than he was hoping, with little sign of damage remaining; in fact he’s rather curious to take a look inside, and so is pleased to be seeing me in a few weeks to open it up, take the screws out, and do an arthroscopy under spinal anaesthesia (so I am awake, can watch the whole thing on TV, and get a video of the operation; yes, he knows I am a geek) – he gets to take a look around the meniscus to see how it’s doing, and take a burr-grinder to some calcification on the bottom of the femur, which is making my kneecap go ‘click’.
Bottom line: no arthritis, excellent healing, more to come. 🙂
