So as the title suggests, my surgery was successful. Heck they didn't need to do anything to fix the meniscus or MCL; they healed by themselves. That said, The surgical staff did replace my ACL and PCL completely. In order to do this they needed to drill several holes in my bones and used some bio-degradable pins to hold in the new tendons. All of the surgery and exploration of the knee was done through several small holes in the knee, so I will have minimal scars.

Even though the incisions were small, this is a majorly invasive surgery and now I have some horrible pain if I don't keep up with the medicine. This medicine unfortunately has left me very scattered brained and unable to focus and very nappy. As such it has temporarily devastated my ability to do art. The art I have been able to do, has been slow and very sub-par. The meds though have also zapped my appetite so I'm loosing weight and I'm not feeling the pain of the bones healing. So there's some silver lining.

I think I am going to be on this heavy duty medicine for about a week, after which I'm not sure what I'll be on. Hopefully something I can have a clear head and not constantly falling asleep from.

As of right now I'm still looking at Thanksgiving before I'm able to load bear on my left leg, and still unknown before I know how long I can drive and be around furries again.
