Small change of plans yesterday. We went to Dr. Chris Miller for a 2nd opinion. It wasn't that we didn't like Dr. Prohaska we just wanted someone to be more aggressive with a plan to get Lance back to the way he was before. Maybe a more positive outlook, I guess you could say. Dr. Miller wants to fix his knee in 2 surgeries, today we are stabilizing and reattching the MCL. Once that is fixed he thinks the knee will "calm down" and recovery from the ACL repair will be easier. He also believes there is a good possibility the PCL will heal on its own. But the advantadge of 2 surgeries is if it doesn't then he can fix the PCL with the ACL in 6-8 weeks.
So I am sitting in the waiting room at he surgery center thrilled they have WiFi to keep me busy for the next few hours. He was a good sport this AM. They gave him some good drugs before they did the nerve block on his leg. The last thing he said to me when they took him back was "the nurse is hot". So it sounded to me like he wasn't nervous at all.
Just praying all this goes ok...
