No News Isn't Good News
On Monday I had a job interview. It went well. Great place to work it sounds. I'd need to pick up a couple of technical skills very quickly, but I need to do that anyway. Salary might be an issue... lack of some development skills might be an issue, but I certainly nailed the interview. If I get the job, it was on charm and charisma.
Today, I went back to visit the orthopedic surgeon.
He'd read me report from Dr. Steve the physical therapist and did a very, very brief exam. The conclusion is that I do have a torn meniscus. To what degree is unknown. I will have an MRI done next Monday to map it out. Following that (about another week), it's very likely that I'll be having the surgery. We discussed it briefly today. The surgeon was in favor of the surgery pending the MRI. The location and the severity of the tear will determine the success rate and recovery time. The procedure is the same in most cases and is done via arthroscopy. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
Then more physical therapy again.
Note: Having rehabbed and strengthen my knee before surgery greatly increases the success rate and decreases recovery time... so it wasn't time wasted.
