    Ouch!! Yes that sounds like my husband LoL always thinks he is fine and over wrks the knee this will be his 2nd knee surgery on the same knee in 1 yr but also the dr F'd up cause he stitched the tear instead of sewing it after my husband told him dnt do that cause it re-rip n sure enough it tore worse than the first time... That's good u planned it out that way sounds like a pretty good game plan LoL

    With knee surgery, you really need to take it easy, and recover really slow, there is no other way around it... plus i hate pain :-) so i did everything possible not to have pain again and another surgery...
