He'll be fine SE. It's the same op as I had last May. The physiotherapists had me up and walking (without support of any kind) within a few hours. Recovery was quick too. Just follow the RICE principles (Rest - Ice - Compression and Elevation (I think)).

And spoil him a lot.

And anyway, nurses who criticise in that way can't really be good nurses (IMHO). So just ignore her/him.

She apologised to but his kneeis fcuked - he damaged his cruciate ligaments in a motorbike accident some years ago - he's been told to lose weight as well and cut down on his protein and carbs. Not a happy bunny.

He's a bloke... which means that when sick or injured they go into 'little boy' mode... he was just a little scared and hiding it under being wound up by the nurse. It's perfectly natural and I'm sure he's fine

Hope the arthroscopy went ok

Cruciate ligaments huh? Well, he has my sympathy.

You are so right Trinity.

Karen - he's been told he willneed reconstructive surgery ar some point but he has totake 4 weeks off work.

Nasty injury that so hope he recovers in time.

Talking of bunnies we lost 3 to a fox on Monday
