I know I've held you all on the seat of your chairs (ok, so there aren't that many of you, and you probably did not stay on the same chair for several weeks) but I finally have an update regarding my recent knee questions. Actually I've had the update for a week, but a combination of business, laziness, and forgetfulness kept me from posting.
There is some good news, and there is some bad news. The good news is that I do not have to get any further surgeries. None of the removed tissue has grown back, and there is nothing out of the ordinary except for more scar tissue than usual-- which I could have told you anyways since they cut to the point where bending the knee pretty much tried to open the wound for a few weeks. The bad news is that I need to do some more physical therapy (completely on my own with no follow-up) and that the nerve damage likely will never entirely heal. It has improved a lot in the last few months, but not entirely. I am still tender when I am on all fours, but it is bearable now.
