  1. Saw the surgeon yesterday. I was splinted two weeks longer than the original plan as he went on
    vacation. The good news is that I seem to be OK, healed with a 20% or so deformity and will not need
    corrective surgery. I do have to splint at night for a while, and be really careful of jamming it
    and possibly tearing it. But he says I'm good to go, This is very good as many out there thought the
    second round of splinting was waste of time and that it would have to be correccted surgically.

    maybe I'll take a photo with the new camera... two months worth of abraded (dead) skin looks
    really yummy

    Despite the results, that just seems so wrong.

    surgery.

    YAY!

    I still don't like putting my "officially fully healed" knee down on hard surfaces.

    | splinting was waste of time and that it would have to be correccted surgically.

    I left the stitches in my knee the full recommended time, despite my usual rapid healing of wounds.
    The Doc snipped the stitches and wondered why I waited too long to get them out. The scab fell right
    off, revealing a nice pink scar.

    I couldn't bring myself to watch as they trimmed the ripped and ruined skin from the laceration on
    my knee. The good news now is that after riding for the last three days straight, I have absolutely
    no pain in that knee (oddly, my right knee - the healthy one - is sore!)

    My apology. This is what happens when you're too busy riding and not reading what's going on in AMB
    on a regular basis...

    But anyways, its great to hear the good news :-)
