Ran over to 126th through the apartments, down to the river trail and back up 114th.
Met with the Dr. Skedros today concerning my knee. He feels that the ACL repair I had done 20 years ago has started to fail. He thinks I need to have it redone, unfortunately I have two screws in it, so he said I will first have to have the screws removed and bone grafts put in. I will then need to wait approximately six month for the grafts to take and then I can have the ACL repair done. He ordered an MRI to be done to confirm his suspicions. He also told me he would not do the surgery so I am still looking for an orthopedic surgeon. I'm not sure what I think about Skedros' prognosis. My knee has been swollen now for over a year- I would love to have it feel right again but I also know how torturous ACL surgery/recovery can be. It will be interesting to see if the MRI confirms his suspicions. On the bright side, I was pleased to hear he saw very little arthritis on the x-ray.
