No worries Tom, I had surgery 2 weeks ago today it was the only option since the patella tendon completes the connection of your quad to your lower leg allowing for extension of the lower leg. Leg is pretty much worthless without it being reattached. Won't be able to do much rehab until the tendon heals, which should start in about 4 weeks, hopefully.

I can put weight on it, preferably with the immobilizer on. I'm able to walk with out the crutches for small distances around the house, it's faster to walk longer distances with the crutches.

Well at least you can put some weight on it or that would suck to have to use the crutches for everything!

Hey Jason and Dave.

I was supposed to mow tonight but I really don't feel like it. Will have to watch the Twins since I won't be watching the Vikes.

Busy is good Dave

Won't watch them now huh Jay? So maybe you should be a Packers fan this season!

I have to go get my garage cleaned. It is a mess, and I have to have room for working on that Monte.
