Watched my knee surgery

[Deleted]

I saw him remove a foreign body from my knee and repair a meniscal tear. It was really strange. The tear looked pretty big too.

I feel lame for rambling on about it but it was a pretty neat thing to see. I've had a lot of swelling in my foot the past day but he said thats normal since my wrap is really tight.

HOPEFULLY this fixed my knee problems and I can get back on the working out track

I would freak out through the whole thing, but I would totally watch that.

I'd need to be out completely and never see anything / hear anything / or smell anything related to the whole ordeal.

Blech.

I just need to watch it to see what he did since my husband was half asleep when he was told what he did. I was kinda grossed out for the most part and had to tilt my head and go wtf? Lol.I just wanna take the bandage off already

yikes, I am pretty sure I wouldn't be able to handle watching that. I would have just called the doc's office and if anything got the run-down from a nurse or something. I hope you are healing up quick so you can get those bandages off and get back to active living!

This!

I can barely watch shows like House or whatever because of the grossness factor.

...Yet, Game of Thrones is fine. I'm a weird-o.

That's kind of cool! I hope that everything is fixed and that you are on a quick road to recovery!

When my H had his knee surgery, the doc came out with all of the pictures of it. I thought it was really neat, when he offered to show my H, he freaked out and said "hell no." (Then again, this is the same guy who almost passed out when they put the IV in, so, there's that.)

I think it'd be pretty cool to see. I watched the doc take a pencil eraser sized chunk of skin out of my arm last fall. Pretty cool.

I hope this helps your knee so you don't have to deal with the pain!

That is awesome!
..But then again, I grew up in a family where it was normal to watch "Trauma, Life in the ER" at dinner.

Pi, we did the saaaaaaaaaaaaame thing! Watching the DVD kinda grossed me out but it made me go 'Ahh that's why this part hurts right now." Or "Holy shit, that tear is kinda big for a knee" lol.

I didn't wanna watch it but I was curious.
