Hoping Epsom is okay after his op?

I’ve just booked in to have a cartilage operation on my left knee on Good Friday, I can’t think of a better excuse not to go on a day trip!


BRING IT ON!

I had a keyhole cartilage op Mick. I turned it inside out playing tennis. (I used to chase everything) The young blonde nurse asked me if I wanted to stay the night. Best offer I’d had in ages.

I should be so lucky but you never know mate, I am going privately! 🤣

How long was your recovery?

I had both knees done in 1989 on the same day (my request to save time taken off from training) and it was painful and it took months before I was running again even though it was keyhole surgery.

This time my surgeon tells me I’ll be up and out of hospital same day without crutches and back to walking distances in 10-14 days.

I’m skeptical based on my experience 35 years ago which didn’t feel like the dark ages at the time.

Ironically, the surgeon who did me 35 years ago is the same bloke who trained my present surgeon Marcus Brown.

By the way, if anyone here if having knee trouble Marcus Brown is an excellent guy to deal with at The Priory Hospital in Brum.
