Okay, so that wasn't so bad. Okay, it was.Actually did it without a general anesthetic, just a local. So got to watch the whole thing on TV. Not sure if that was a good idea. Kinda cool, but kind of creepy.
Got to watch him cut open three little holes in my knee, slip in the spinning knives and then watch him go after the torn meniscus (there ya are, ya little bastard. Come mere, come mere, wheeeeeee (like sound of dentist drill), oops......now I gotcha, wheeeeeee.
Over in about 45 minutes.
Actually, the local is the way to go. Usually I don't want a local anesthetic, I want one of the fancy foreign ones. But this way, no one hour wait to come out of the fog, no feeling nauseous, no chance of dying.
And the only evidence of the attack is hidden under just one bandage, three little incisions. No pain at all. Sweet.
Plus, a week off work! Sweeter.
