Good news from Surgeon

Great news at the surgeon's office!  He said that my knee looks good and I just have to come back in a year and make sure my knee is still a-okay.  He said that he could not be more pleased and that he is very happy with the results.  He is proud of me for getting off the narcs, which was not an easy thing to do.  I respect him so much and he has really changed my life. 

Now, before he operated on me at all, when my knee was still deformed, he speculated that he would have to operate on the top of my knee (which he did) and the bottom also.  However, the surgery was so successful that he is satisfied with the results and does not think additional surgery is required at this point. 

"If I were to do surgery at this point," he explained, "I feel like I would be doing it for the x-ray and not the patient."

Awesome, right?

Here is a picture of me and my fiancee, who stood by me through the entire thing, even the months when I was non-weight-bearing and stuck in a wheelchair.  This is us on the fourth floor parking ramp of the hospital. Ang, I never could have made it through without you!
