Anthony's Surgery

As some of you might remember, Anthony had a knee injury during wrestling his junior year in HS.  It kept him out of going to state and possibly wrestling in college.

He went in for minor arthroscopic surgery on his meniscus.  It turns out that the tear in his meniscus is probably cause from a loose ACL.  Not great news, because he could possibly need more surgery later.

On my couch.

His knee healed fine. He went in on Friday and should have been up and walking around by Sunday. Unfortunately, not the case. He ended up with 4 blood clots.

So, back on the couch he went for the next week.  The treatment is medication, of course, and shots.  Shots he has to give himself and in his stomach.  I am glad to say, he is feeling much better.  He is going to physical therapy to rebuild that ACL.   He will be on medication for the next 6 months.  He is happy to be up moving around and back to work.

He knows one thing for sure.  He will not be having any more elective surgery for a long long time.
