Posted by technical After running tests, they found out that I got an infection from the surgery. So they had to perform another surgery to get the infection out of there. Of course, that wasn't the end of the road, there were two more complications with the infection spreading into the deep tissue of my quad muscle. 10 days later, I am finally out of the hospital, but I've got to do tons more rehab than if I had not gotten the infection. In addition, I've still got an IV in my right arm, and I'm going to have to change it every day for the next 6 weeks. Oh well, at least they gave me Morphine. Which, by the way, is much better than that "Kilz" ceiling crap that the Rev uses to get tweaked. Pray for me, if you do that. Thanks.

I went in for a routine knee surgery to repair torn cartilage the day before Thanksgiving. Things seemed to be going great, but suddenly one night I was literally writhing in my bed-- unable to get any type of relief from the sharp and constant pains in my knee. This went on for 4 days until I was admitted to the hospital. (The doctor was giving me Vicodon for the pain-- which was basically like taking Flintstones vitamins...)
