Thanks a lot for posting that, Rav - it illuminates it for me, this old carcass is starting to get like a high mileage car...
I'e gotta take one of my dogs to Angell Memorial Hospital on Feb 3 - she tore her ACL rough-housing in the yard with the golden, so I'm gonna take her to one of the best around who worked on the golden when he got a spiral fracture 8 yrs ago - the guy is awesome and the charges aren't much more than having it done locally - this particular surgeon is flown all over the country to work on very expensive horses as well -
Anyway, long way of saying it'll be interesting to talk to an orthopedic surgeon in regards to knees, the mechanics are the same I would think, may give me some insight -
