Knee replacement

[Hank70SS]

Not me, Lynda. Went with her to see the ortho surgeon on Friday. She's had a couple of surgeries on her left knee to remove torn meniscus. They took an x-ray on Friday and compared to one from last November. The space between the bones is noticeably smaller, meaning a lot of the cartilage has worn away since then.

She's scheduled for surgery on 9/15. It's only the medial meniscus that's worn and causing pain so he hopes to only replace that joint. He said he would have a full replacement available and if he felt she would still have pain with only a partial then he would do a full replacement. Hope this works because she's having a hard time getting around.
