The Anterior Cruciate Ligament in my right knee had been destroyed long ago, so it was time for some surgical repair. The surgeon took part of the patellar tendon from my left knee along with some bone on each end and used it to "fix" my right knee. I woke up after surgery in these smokin' hot white stockings and neat little drain tubes.

I did the first couple weeks of recovery at my parent's house where they took VERY good care of me. Per surgeon's protocol, I was to keep my right knee elevated above my heart for 7 full days. The only exceptions were to go to the bathroom and to do the rehab routine every 2 hours from 8AM to 10PM.

Christmas day at my parents...keeping those knees elevated and iced! Boy that routine got old! I'm laying beside the Christmas tree ready to unwrap stuff.
