I got a little tear to the Media Meniscus to be repaired...docs going to do a something-a-scopey to fix it next week. Says I'll be up on my feet the next day...and working out in about 3-4...
Anyone been through this and got some input for recovery time...is he right that it will be so quick?

Had a torn meniscus repaired in late sept. 2006. It was a very quick recovery. No limping after a couple of days and I was back in the water as soon as the sutures were removed (10 days). I had a great meet in early dec., about 10 weeks after the operation (4 world records).
Thanks Rich. I went from being very gung-ho about getting this done to worries about the recovery after hearing some folks who work at docs office saying how it will be a longer recovery than anticipate. I am hoping for a DEC 8th/9th meet at BU. Will see how I feel after the op before paying entry.
Can I hold you to this leading me to 4 WRs too? :laugh2:
