First follow-up with the Surgeon

This was a quick appointment. We did an X-ray of the knee. It looked great. Then, the surgeon and the intern quickly checked my flexion and extension. I started to try to make my knee bend as much as possible and the doctor stopped me and said "we don't need anything heroic". I laughed. They just wanted to see that I could bend my knee. They didn't even measure the angle. My extension was zero, meaning that my leg was able to get completely straight, which is very important at this stage. The intern removed the stitches from the incisions for the arthroscopic part of the surgery. These are two small buttonhole-like cuts on both sides of my knee. It didn't hurt. So far, so good.
