My doctor said if I didnt go private I would be on the waiting list, but going private I got an appointment in three hours (my boss knows the consultant which helped) and surgery will be within 9 working days of my first consultation so cant complain.
Just glad I'm not paying the bill, it just under £3.5k at present.
they have given me
Voltarol to reduce swelling and ease inflamation which i have to take
Dihydrocodeine for moderate to severe pain relief to take up to four times a day
and good old paracetamol
thought I wouldnt need the crutches, but not a chance
but hopefully tomorrow things will get easier when the big bandage comes off.
thanks for your support guys

How are you doing? Getting better?
Took the outer bandage off last night, was a bit shocked at how swollen it was and what a mess it looked, still cant bend it much, but day by day it's getting easier. Doc has said I can drive from Next Mon-Wed as long as I can do an emergency Stop, but I cant even get in a car at present not easily anyway.
But hoping to be back to normal by the weekend, I just keep doing my exercises and rest it as I was told to do.

Quick update and it's not looking good, looks like I will be back in Hospital tomorrow as the swelling hasnt gone down and I cant walk.
As a reference Phil Tufnell is having trhe same op today and is looking to be dancing on thursday, which means I should have been nearly ok by last Friday. I know people heal at different speeds but I cant even bend my leg.
Went to the hospital yesterday as I was concerned and although the doctor wasnt overly concerned he did point out that if my knee had been any hotter he would have kept me in.
I have posted some picks, I know my legs arent pretty but took these this morning so gives you an idea 6 days on. The yellow on my calf is from internal bleeding which seems to be getting worse.
