Surgery

Alli's surgery went well today. The Dr got in there and it hadn't re torn, but it never really healed. There was some fibrous scar tissue. He said that the part that was torn wasn't really viable tissue, so he had to remove MOST of the lateral meniscus. So she now has less than half of the meniscus on the left leg. He said that she will be able to live her life but that her knee will never really be great. He also said that if it continued to bother her that he could put in and implant. Having no meniscus also dramatically increases her chances of having arthritis which is bad because she already has arthritis in the other knee. Please keep her in her prayers.
