As it has been confirmed by Dr. Magee that I have a torn lateral meniscus on my left knee, I will be undergoing surgery. The appointment is set a week from tomorrow, February 8, 2011. It'll be performed at Washington Adventist Hospital. If you want to learn more about meniscus tears, I offer this for your viewing pleasure:
I've never had surgery to a leg before. And I don't like doctors a whole lot. But, I trust that everything will be ok. I'll try to document it as much as I can, but they do put the patient out completely while the procedure is being done.
The way I feel now is that this is just a little pit stop on my march to a sub-12 hour Ironman Lake Placid. Of course, the hard work begins when I have to recover from surgery and then ramp up the training for the event. It really only boils down to this... I have two choices:
1. Quit
2. Get Better
I'm voting for #2.
i'm also voting for #2!
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying for you next week. If anyone can stick with the rehab and prove any naysayers wrong, it's you.
