BUM KNEE

On June 17th Barry went under the knife. He has always been super self-conscious about his knobby little knee and he figured I'll go ahead and "enhance" it.  Barry is so vain.  Not.

Really, Barry's knee has been bothering him for some years now. He was very rough on his body with sports in H.S and basically doesn't have any cartilage in-between-- a condition called temporal femoral condlylitis. Mark has the same thing.

We spent the morning at Mercy Gilbert Hospital and we were back home by that afternoon. Its always scary thinking of being put totally under, but everything went well for the most part. When Barry woke up he said his knee didn't even hurt, but that it felt like some one took a bat to  his thigh. He bruised horribly and come to find out the bruising was not normal and they think the tourniquet was too tight and ruptured blood vessels. Poor guy.  He wobbled around for a week or so but, seems to be doing good. Hopefully he'll get good results and be able to function better.
