This surgery was supposed to be more extensive and painful than the original surgeries I had back in 2007 and 2008.
I'm already walking with just a cane now and I will start Outpatient physical therapy next week, which I'm very much looking forward to. All in all, this has been, IMO, a much easier experience than it was before. Of course, being over 100 lbs. + lighter in weight has helped tremendously, too.

The patella is the HARDEST thing to reshape.. i do hope this is it for you!
