Small Update
Hey everyone.
Thanks for your well-wishes for my dad yesterday. The surgery went very well. It was scheduled to take 3 hours and lasted just under 1. The doctor said it went well, and I was half-right. Part of the problem is arthritis. The other issue, also a genetic one, was what's known as "flaking". Basically, where his thigh-bone connected to the knee-bone, the thigh-bone (femur) was splintering and the shards would break off inside the knee. So they cleaned that out and smoothed it down. Plus, he had arthritis on the back of his knee cap, so they smoothed that down as well. It was very minor and they said that he just needs to take it easy, stay on crutches for a couple of days and he should be good to go. In fact, last night he was practically able to bend his knee completely.
All in all, very good news. Thanks again.
Have a great weekend!
