My sympathies, Hutch; but like mylefteye wrote, no one's yet mentioned amputation.

My son had a similar problem, in that the miniscus (sp?) in his knee was torn, and he had to have surgery to correct it. He's doing fine now. Just make sure you have a good doctor.

Hang in there. I don't like the S word either. But sometimes we have to do it. I'm pitching for you, Hutch! With lots of hugs! XXOO

LOL!

A bum knee and a scratchy beard have their perqs.

That's what I'm hoping, anyway...
