So it’s official – 2 consultations and an MRI scan later, it’s confirmed that I have a complex (it ain’t simple!) tear on the lateral meniscus of the left knee. So it’s the same injury that I sustained on the right knee a few years ago. The solution is an arthroscopy and meniscusectomy – means that I will get knocked out for about an hour, the docs will insert a scope to check out the insides of the knee to make sure that there’s nothing more than what the MRI has shown and then cut up the torn parts of the meniscus. That’s gonna happen this Saturday 
I figured that I have to do this ASAP because this is the only window I have free before the tons of weddings and overseas shoots start to happen the next couple of months. Don’t think my knee can wait till August’s low period…
Technically speaking, I should be back and walking in 2-3 days if all goes well. It’d better cos I have 2 weddings to cover the following weekend…wish me luck!

though i dont really understand the complexity of your bad knee but all the big names and terms sounds complex enough to give yourself more time to rest…
TAKE CARE, uncle….

thanks everyone
. Don’t have to worry – I think it’s quite a routine operation. I mean, people DO wake up from general anaesthesia right?
Sharon: next time you be my anaesthetist yah? Eh? *choi* what am I saying…no next time man!
