my Surgery

The past few days have been crazy! I had knee surgery Wed. Jan.12.  and am trying to recover and get back to myself. It has been a long road to get to this point. I injured my knee at work September 15 2010. For the past 4 months I have been fighting trying to get this surgery. I went on disability The week before Halloween. I knew I tore my meniscus. I had an MRI and nothing showed up. I went through Physical Therapy for a month with no improvement. Then I finally got the ok from the workman's comp insurance for the surgery I knew I needed. Sure enough, they saw that  tore my meniscus when they went in. They just trimmed it back so I should have a pretty easy recovery. The pain is not as bad as I thought it would be but it defiantly is there. I have been putting a little weight on it and doing my exercises. I start PT Monday morning and I hope to be back to work in about 5 weeks!
