The new knee

 Don't get excited...this is the bad knee....before the surgery....before it was shaved....and don't worry, I won't be showing you a pic of the leg after the surgery....so keep on reading...

Here's a picture of the cute stockings that he wore and is still wearing...oh yes, and the beautiful socks with the grips on the bottom!

During the surgery, the doctor found and repaired 2 tears in the meniscus and reconstructed his ACL using one of his hamstring tendons.  
 Here he is right after the surgery....looking good, eating food....and then he threw up, and kept throwing up.

 Here we are back home and he's made a little nest on the couch.  He's got his leg in a C. P. M. machine...it keeps his knee moving, 23 hours a day!  (Continuous Passive Motion Machine) Little Minnie wanted to lay by him but there wasn't any room!!

Here's a closer look at the C.P.M machine...

The doctor said that Ben is looking at a 6-9 month rehab schedule....whew!!! Last night Ben said the most pain is where the doc took out the hamstring tendon...OUCH!
