Lahey Clinic |
Surgery |
Right Knee |
Dr. Mark Lemos repaired the medial meniscus in my right knee. Said ACL was torn a lil but solid (yippee).
Damage to femoral condyles and a lil to MCL. Kiteboarding is fun but can be dangerous to your health.
Supposedly will be back to normal activities in 4-6 months. See you in June or August! This is day one, start counting.... |
