Yeah, I really didn't want them to have to operate. It takes a lot
longer to heal up that way and it will never be as good.

They have a pool there, but have no recommended that type of therapy
for me. My knee must be a little more stable than what happened to
you since I can bear weight on it without too much difficulty.

LOL. Yeah, that would suck. You should have a little bit of
hyperextension in your knee, but not much. Because of my torn MCL my
knee doesn't want to go straight. They told me that would be the
hardest thing to work on and it's what kills me the most when they are
bending and straightening my leg.

Yeah, they must have some sort of masochistic tendencies in the their
psyche. I keep expecting to go in there and see them wearing the
leather masks with the zippers and the gestapo boots saying "Gooht
morning, and how are vee today?"

That's good news.

I think we all enjoy reading that you are being tortured by your therapist

Water theraphy strengthens without weight stress. You should try it. You'd
like it.

Well, that's just it. My leg doesn't straighten out completely, because of
torn meniscus. But for a while, the tibia would slip out from under the
knee joint, like it wasn't connected. That is due to the ligaments on
either side, being stretched to the breaking point.
I am very glad for you, that yours wasn't like that.

Nope! I would probably be in better shape if I had done that. I tore
three ligaments in my left knee. I also have an avulsion fracture and
sprain of my right ankle.

Rather cumbersome and difficult is my path....

Thanks for asking!
