Knee surgery

Had my first general anaesthetic today. Quite a strange sensation as a wave crept up on my upper body and then a tingling sense around my lower face followed by a metallic taste in my mouth. Then sleepy time.

Awoke an hour later and was initially surprised as I remembered nothing, that of course is the point. Anyway, the surgeon has cleaned up my left knee as far as he could. Snipped my cartledge and removed the medial plica, which is surplus to requirements. He showed me some photo's he had taken of my knee, very strange to see your own body internally. Good news that cartledge and ligaments are in top nick, bad news is that the top of my leg bone where it meets my knee has a grove running along it, and a bit of arthritis too. So its' as good as its' going to get.

So start home physio on weds and have made an appointment for professional physio too. So have to be a good patient and be patient.
