They stitched my skull back up and no internal bleeding so that is great. My knee is another story. I went to the orthropedic surgeon today and he said my quad is not attached to my knee anymore. I go and see the guy who will do the cutting on the 18th and probably get cut the following week. They need to cut the top of my leg down9middle of quad area) to approx the bottom of my kneecap to re attach everything. He had me go for an MRI today too to make sure there isn't any other cartelage or tendon damage. Could have been a lot worse though. I could have been taking a permant dirt nap. |

Dave,
We'll keep envisioning you back to your normal self ready to fish and all ... it's scary to think of the alternative, good luck on your speedy recovery.

The X ray showed all bones correct. It is just that the muscle isn't attached anymore and (there is a gap between the quad and my knee cap) recovery time is 3 months give or take from when they cut.
The doc was holding my knee and checking it out and he says " well you won't be playing football anymore....." I wanted to laugh as I haven't played any of that in over 20 years. He did say that prognosis for a just about full recovery is very good though. Looks like skiing may be out too though. |

Best of luck Mac. Do the rehab, man. Been under the knife four times on right knee, still ain't right, never will be without a replacement, but tha's another story.
I know a place and group of guys that could chaifeur you around to a couple of spots in a golf cart come September.....
Can't make it this Saturday.....and am sorry about that, but......
Keep your spirits up, Dave. Glad you didn't have a seroius head injury with permanent damage!
