I think that last time I posted that Stephen wasn't going to have to have knee surgery. Well, when he went back to the doctor after physical therapy, the doctor wasn't satisfied with the popping, pain, and catching that his knee was doing. Since the MRI can't show everything, we decided to go with a minor surgery on his knee where they scope it and make repairs to the meniscus if it is torn, and clean up any loose pieces or whatnot.
His surgery was yesterday, and it went well. Thankfully no torn meniscus, and the doctor was able to clean it up good. However, he does have a small tear in his ACL, which is really bad because that is a separate surgery with a 6 month recovery time frame!! The doctor said the tear wasn't bad enough to do the surgery now, and suggests waiting. We will know more when Stephen goes in for his follow up appointment.
So far Stephen has done very well with recovery. Coming out of the anesthetic was pretty smooth, and other than being tired and a little dizzy, he is doing good. Some pain, but manageable.
Thanks to those of you that knew about the surgery and were praying!!
