Todd,
Glad to hear your surgery went well. I had mine a couple of months ago
and it went well too (cartilage only, not ligament). I have left over
pain pills if you need 'em. ;-) I'm in physical therapy stage now and
hoping to be back fencing in a month. I look forward to fencing you
(and everybody else!) again.
It's been 7 months for me and I've taken to drooling over pictures in
Fencing magazine.
The good news is that I've forgotten all my old bad habits, so I'm ready
to go for my A rating ....!

See everyone soon
Sol
