Eric’s Knee Surgery
Filed Under Eric, Home Again
Guess based on the response of “what! Eric had knee surgery”, we didn’t do a good job of communicating that this event was going to take place.
Why did this happen you ask?
Eric’s freshmen year of college he hurt his knee, being the muscle man that he is, he was lifting when it happened. Since then it has been “uncomfortable”, his words not mine, and he continually had to straighten it out to release the pressure that had built up. If you have ever sat across from him at a restaurant and been kicked under the table, accidentally of course, this was the reason. Because of this continual discomfort, and the fact that he wanted to get it fixed before we went in to full time missions, it was time for surgery. Dr Gwo-chin Lee did a speedy job, entering in two places removing lose, broken cartilage which was behind Eric’s knee cap. Recovery was two days of crutches and a few days of mild walking with some exercises. He is feeling great, sometimes a little stiff after being on it for a while, taking very few of the 60 percocet pills he was prescribed and getting antsy about being stuck inside and not being able to play in the four feet of snow outside our house. We’ll see how it all really went when he fully recovers. For now, Malachi and I are simply enjoying the time we get to spend with him!
So there you have it, that is why there was surgery, how it went and how he is doing now. If you knew about the surgery, thank you for praying, if not… it’s not your fault, we didn’t tell you. =)
