Good friend having nasty sounding surgery tomorrow..UPDATE page 2

[ByTheSea]

An old friend who used to post here is having surgery tomorrow so if you wish to send positive vibes, PD, prayers or good thoughts her way I will be happy to forward the sentiments along.

Beverly Lynn is having a lateral release of the left patella, which means they have to cut the muscles and ligaments down the outside of the leg above and below the knee to release the kneecap, then they will take the kneecap and ball out of the knee/socket and clean those up, they will also clean out any tiny bone fragments and any little pieces of cartilage floating in the area, smooth out the cap and ball, break the top of the tibia(they go down about 1.5 inches) they break it across then in half, then they take those halves move them towards the outsie of the leg on either side and then they have to screw them to the rest of the tibia and then reconstruct the knee back to how it is supposed to be.

Sounds very painful to me and she has gone through her fair share of pain... so here's hoping it goes smoothly with a quick, complete, and as pain free recovery as possible.
