Thanks for all the good thoughts. Went to the Dr on Friday and I will not have to have my knee replaced. They are going to do surgery and remove the damaged cartilage in my knee. The MRI showed it is tattered and torn. They will trim away the torn parts that are floating around and getting lodged where they don't belong and causing pain. The best news is I won't be off four months (like with a knee replacement ) but just two weeks. Still don't like having surgery, but at least this will have a faster recovery rate. Thanks for all your great thought and prayer. My surgery is on June 18th. Thinks of me then.
