Check out my new ligament!


After suffering from a dodgy knee for nearly 6 years, I finally went for my knee reconstruction surgery last Friday. The surgery itself was quite uneventful as I was unconscious during the operation. Funny thing though, the staff in the Operating Theatre seem to be sponsored by Crocs - everyone was wearing them! It was quite an experience; a whimsical array of colors on the feet of those who would be cutting me up in moments..


I must admit that I was quite relieved to be unconscious during surgery. It was exactly like what you see on television - I was lying on this bed with the bright lights directly above me. There were about 5 - 7 people scuttering around me, poking all sorts of needles and stuff into me. Last thing I remember, the doctor was telling me that i was being sedated and another nurse was putting an oxygen mask over my mouth..


The next thing I know, it was over! Check out my elephant leg:

The plasters are covering the holes they drilled in my leg..
