got a date for surgery
7-10-07
cartilage transplant and a allograft (bone replacement)
i have ocd in my right knee which they are removing the section of bone and replacing it.
ive had three knee scopes in 2 years and have no cartilage left, so there doing a transplant.
i was supposed to have this done in april, and they called me the night before the surgery to tell me that the donor failed for diseases.
this ought to be a fun one to do rehab on. good thing for cute physical thereapists

Best of luck! I hear there are more man-nurses around now, so don't get your hopes up on hot nurse action 
I never knew they used donor tissue for that kind of thing. . .my aunt has had her knee caps replaced 2 or 3 times, all of them artificial. . .

Yeah, good luck. Look on the bright side, the worst case is you'll need a total knee replacement, and mine so far after 4 weeks has been a cinch. I was just outside today mowing and blowing the yard for my kids birthday, no pain whatsoever. This thing is smooooth.
Only real pain I've had is in the PT trying to get back range of motion lost along 33 years.
