It doesn’t repeat itself, nor does it bite you, but it definitely has ways to remind you that it is yours to carry around. You can’t get rid of it, and I got just one more reminder of that yesterday. Last year, my right knee started bothering me, so I started doing PT. During cabinhopping, it was flaming up, so I set up a visit down in Vail. After looking at it, I decided that it was time to clean it out. We thought the culprit was my plica. After the surgery, one of the PA’s came by to tell me that there was a ton of scar tissue in there along with an inflamed plica, and that it must have been left over from my femur break, but everything else, including my cartilage looked great.
I have had now six knee surgeries and my wisdom teeth (which was the worst of them all!), but I have no regrets. I have traveled a ton, met great people and learned a few languages along the way. Even from the boring disasters that have been my injuries, I have gained insight and my experience has definitely give me a leg up in interviews, especially in the knee replacement biz.
Would I do it all again? Oh yeah.
