Just thought you all might like to know, I talked with Mrs. HotDog this
morning after the surgery.
All was well, and it wasn't as bad as was thought. He did fine. I'm sure he
will give better details.

It went well. In surgery by 8AM, home by 10AM.
No anesthesia reactions like I usually do.
A large piece of meniscus was folded over & stuck in the joint (fixed).
The bones in the joint were not smooth (fixed).
I was missing cartelidge in one spot, (a microfractrure procedure fixed this).
The cartiledge was in a non-weight bearing location, so no need for crutches 
either (this was the best news of a;ll!).

No pain yet, I think it's still a bit numb, but justr in case we have some 
REALLY 
good pills if we need them..:-)
