A DATE WITH THE SAWBONES
Velocidaughter 1 has knee surgery on Wednesday. Gonna get scoped like a monkey trial. Residual bone fragments from a meniscus injury three years ago.
I'll be a queasy wretch. Do they allow hip flasks in Recovery?
This surgeon is supposed to be good, though. Worked Baryshnikov's knee, so that works for me.
Don't tell me dancers aren't athletes. This kid has been through the knee blowouts, the ice packs, the crutches, the drainings, the sports therapy, now the surgery. Lettered every year since 9th grade.
Mebbe this will fix it for good. I need scholarship money!$!$!
I'm pulling for daughter, you, and the surgeon.
Posted by: Jim - PRS at August 1, 2005 7:54 PMI work for a cheer advisor during the school year. Those girls are the BEST atheletes and they are SMART too. The grade point average they have to keep is awesome.
I'll keep your daughter in my prayers, I have knee problems myself, so I can empathize with her.
I'm nervous for you.
All the best to you and yours.
She's in my thoughts and prayers for a successful surgery and speedy recovery.
; )
Posted by: Christina at August 1, 2005 9:07 PMBest to Velocidaughter - I'll be praying for her on Wednesday, and praying for the surgeon to make it an early night on Tuesday evening, too.
What really blows me away? I just wrote a whole post about the word "meniscus". Bizarre!
Cue the Twilight Zone music, Rod...

All the ones I have dated have excelled at the pole vault. Wait.. what KIND of dancers were we talking about?
No worries on the scopage. A decent orthopod can do a "knee scrape" with his eyes closed.
Posted by: rightisright at August 1, 2005 10:05 PMYeah, I sneezed one time and blew meniscus all over the place. Not a pretty sight. V-man, don't worry about the scope. These days, unless it's a complete ACL replacement, it's pretty fast and simple. She'll be walking the next day and dancing in a couple of weeks. My thoughts are with her (and you), regardless.
Posted by: Dash at August 1, 2005 10:15 PM... Wednesday is a day of poolshooting here... but, let you and yours know that we'll be thinking of them... warriors all bleed the same, you know....
... just let me know if there is something more I can do...
Posted by: Eric at August 1, 2005 11:35 PMBest of luck to her, I know the queasy hospital routine well, something about a damn hospital.
Posted by: james old guy at August 2, 2005 9:46 AMMy thoughts and prayers are with the Velocifamily.
She'll be fine, the sister in law had her knee scoped years ago when she was playin' sports and within a month she was back to normal.
Well as normal as she ever was.
Posted by: phin at August 2, 2005 1:09 PMV-Man.....as the other posts said, not to worry too much; although, as a father of a daughter myself, worry seems to come with the job. Prayers and good Kharma to you and the family.
Tell her for me that I wish her the best and to hang in and get back to dancin' PDQ
Posted by: GUYK at August 2, 2005 3:30 PMSpeedy recovery, an' all that.
The Velocidaughter will need that knee to be fully functional, that she is better equipped to kick the Veloci-Ass one day for blogging about her. Heh.
Posted by: Elisson at August 2, 2005 3:46 PMTrust me, I know how bad it sucks to have a kid under any sort of knife. Good luck, V Man.
This is why I never pushed my kids to get into sports, or whatever. Those damn coaches push em too hard, and all too often you see young people with permanent injuries before they are old enough to dring legally.
My friend Jeff Stover never played any sports, and walked onto the field and got hired by the 49'rs because he was bad-ass. 'Course, then they fucked him up, but still...

Posted by: Bane at August 2, 2005 4:54 PMPrayers for Velocidaughter.
Posted by: Kelly at August 2, 2005 8:23 PMHope everything went well.... Prayers for you all.
Holy cow! What kind of dancer is she - ballet, I guess?
It's Wednesday night, and I trust she's doing just fine. Let us know.
