Five Anniverstary on Round Two

5 ago today, I had my revised medial meniscus transplant, and I'm still feeling pretty good. I'm getting older, so aches and pains are a reality with very active lifestyle.  My knee feels pretty good most of the time, although I have a little pain developing in the area of my transplant. Hope its just been pushed too hard lately.  I've hard enough surgery for a lifetime on this knee, and I can live with a little twinge here and there.  This is a relatively new development, but nothing is catching, and it's manageable without any pain meds other than an occasional Advil.  I've hung up my hockey skates for good, not because of my knee, but because the contact I loved so much became hard to recover from after each game. I spend more time in the gym and on the golf course than ever, and my knee doesn't hold me back.  I did a little wake boarding this year, and really enjoy wake surfing.  I think wake surfing is a new sport that is very safe for my knees, and loved it.  I don't really limit anything because of my knee, but the reality is my lifestyle has become a little less aggressive athletically as I approach 50.   I'm always looking for a new challenge, so who knows what is next.  I'm so thankful that I've been able to compete after my MTs pain free, and I have a memories that will last forever that would not have happened without this surgery.  Happy healing folks.
