A trip to Corpus today to meet with the surgeon and see how the knee is doing. The doctor thinks Judy is awesome. The knee looks just right for this stage of recovery.
Here is how it looks on the inside with an x-ray.
Looks just like a knee, doesn’t it? The empty spaces in the joint aren’t really empty. Just like cartilage, the plastic part of the joint doesn’t show up on an x-ray.
Normally the doctor would have us come back in two weeks, but considering our distance and the virus situation, we settled on waiting a month for our next visit. We were originally going to stay overnight and see a different doctor in Corpus on Tuesday morning for something else, but were hesitant about going to a doctor that treated sick people (instead of an orthopedic doctor’s office) so we called them up and they agreed to do the visit virtually tomorrow. The hotel took a late cancellation, no problem. It seems like everyone is making every accommodation they can.
We’re back home again tonight.
