Well I'm back home now. Everything went well so the doc told me. He said 3 out of the 4 muscles in the quad was disconnected but 1 was still there. He drilled holes in my kneecap pulled the muscle through and knotted and stitched things up.

He told me I should have a 100% recovery. But he did stress about doing exactly as he says. I told him no problem what so ever. Thry put my leg in a rigid brace and said to leave it on for 6 weeks. I will then go back to the bledsoe brace and start the PT regimen for approx 4 to 6 weeks. I'm going to do everything he wants and not push it.

Thanks again everybody for your well wishes and support, it means a real lot.

Dave
