Bad Luck :(
I was planning to leave tonight for a 4-day mini trip. I've been stuck in one spot for the last two months, dealing with some life stuff. Was really looking forward to some wild. But I went in ...

Yes understand knee injuries.
My wife had been complaining about the dog pushing her knee sideways when the 35 pound dog came up to greet her a few days ago.
I had (well still have) torn ligaments in my right knee. So the 'doctor' proposed relieving (actually cutting) the left side of my right kneecap ligaments, so it will not pull to the right, but should stay centered. I needed a much better doctor!
Good luck on your trip!

In 2012 I had this surgery on both knees. The cut through my ligaments, some muscle and other tissue trying to realign my knee caps. Doctor said at my age, 42 at the time, it was a 50/50 shot to correct the problem, if I was 16 great prognosis.
Needless to say I was out of work nine months and recovery was horrible. I had to relearn to walk after each surgery, crutches then cane then well hell it didn't work. It was depressing watching 60 to 70 year olds who had full knee replacement up and walking in days and couldn't walk after 6 weeks. Talk to a physical therapist, not associated with the doctor, and find out what the recovery is like. This procedure is one of the hardest to recover from, wish I would have know that in the beginning.
I'm back to square one with no options and deal with a good hiking staph when on uneven ground and some meds when the pain is too much.
Best of luck with your kees.
