After reading all these posts about problems that others are dealing with I feel blessed even though it was a tough month for me. Talked to the knee surgeon last week he told me that I had a torn quadricep tendon as well as a torn meniscus but at my age due to other degeneration in the knee there were no guarantees that surgery would help. So he said wait a few more weeks if and if the pain stays away leave it alone. In the mean time I passed a kidney stone so what I thought was a diverticulitis attack may have been the stone passing. So I am ready to go camping again, suppose to be sunny for the next 6 days and the trout should be biting.
