Ach more bloody surgery!

Both readers will know that I succeeded in rupturing my quadriceps tendon after missing my step at St James's Park tube station. I only fell a few steps but the rupture, the repair and the ensuing rehabilitation had me laid up for nearly four months.

I've had a lot of pain since then(my right knee still looks more like a tennis ball than it looks like y left knee) so I finally decided enough was enough, saw my GP who sent me for an MRI scan which showed a torn meniscus.

So it's back in for keyhole surgery in a few weeks time. Mercifully I'll only be laid up for a couple of weeks after, four weeks max.

Perhaps unsurprisingly there is a Knee Joint Surgery channel on You Tube. So here, for your delight and delectation is a vid showing what the surgeon is likely to be doing to me. Enjoy!
