Let's put it this way, after my knee operation.. I WAS NOT SMILING!!! 11 yrs ago, I fell on the snow and hurt my knee, since then I was able to take out of place my knee at will ( and even when I didn't want to) I went to see several doctors, but always something happened so I didn't get the operation. a few weeks ago one of the patients in the office I work for, recommended this Doctor.. he was great, right a way told me what it was my ACL!!! he wasn't sure about my meniscus, but he thought the were probably torn. After getting in there, he found out, it was worst than he thought. and he took my meniscus out completely and used a graft form a cadaver to replace my ACL ( mayor tendon on the knee) It has been a challenge recuperating form the operation, but is happening slowly. Grandma Aleen came to the rescue, when Dad (Max) was at the end of his rope ( being at home in charge of the house cleaning, all the cooking and the kids.. HE CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK TO WORK!!) He has done a great job!! When Nicholle found out I was going under the knife, she said" but if Mommy is getting an operation.....How is going to cook for us???????

Diana, you're making great strides to recuperate from this major surgery. Keep up the diligent work on your exercises. You're an inspiration!
Max, you're doing a wonderful job of caring for the children and home. It was my pleasure to be your assistant. . . I enjoyed getting better aquainted with Caitlin, Nicholle, and Michael last week.
I love you all,
Mamacita / Grandma Aleen
Hope things are getting better?! Man, surgery is not fun- ever. Good luck for all the recoup!
So sorry to hear about your knee, that does not sound like fun at all! Good luck with your recovery.
